Guest List Creation
CREATE A GUESTLIST
Some event planning software platforms don’t have a centralised database of Contacts that you can reuse. They might expect you to create a new guest list for every event.
1pm is centralised around Contacts, and expects you will (as a corporate event planner, for example) routinely invite the same people to your events.
So when creating a list of Participants, there are several ways to quickly add guests to the ‘Guest’ list. In 1pm, there is actually no such thing as a guest list, these are actually called Participants with different statuses.
For example, you might have some people that are backups in case not enough of the intended guests RSVP.
Here are the default Participant statuses within 1pm:
To Invite
Guests you have decided to invite, but haven’t ‘hit the button’ yet and actually sent the invite.
Accepted
Guests you have invited, and they have hit the ‘I’M ATTENDING’ button. Good on them.
Invite Sent
Guests who you have invited, but haven’t gotten around to sending their RSVP (they are WAY too busy…)
Maybe Invite
Guests who you would love to invite (or maybe just like to invite) but only if there is enough space/budget. You can change these later to ‘TO INVITE’ and invite.
Declined
Guests who have politely DECLINED the invitation for whatever reasons.
Waitlist
Guests who have indicate they would personally love to come to the event, or you would love to invite, and are just waiting to see if any of the ‘Tier 1’ guests drop out or change their status to ‘NOT ATTENDING’ so you can invite them.
