Register attendance for an event
When an event is created, recipients will be asked to answer whether or not they are attending the event in the Spond app. Once attendance is registered, participants will no longer be able to change their answer. This allows attendance to be accurately recorded, which can help coaches and others by providing an accurate picture of how many people are actually attending.
