Viewing events in the Spond app/web version
When you or your child are invited to an event, it will appear both on your home screen and within the associated group.
⚠️ NOTE! If you can see an event within the associated group but not on your home screen, this means you have not been invited to the event. However, the host has chosen to make the event visible to everyone in the group.
Commenting in an Event
You can post a comment with an image (maximum 100 MB in .jpg, .png, .gif format). You can choose whether the notification should be sent to all invitees or only to the host. The host will always receive the notification regardless of your choice. If you want to notify only those with a specific status, such as Attending, you can @-mention them individually in your comment.

Participant Status
If, for example, you have not responded to the event but suddenly see that your status is “Attending” or “Declined”, this is because the host/administrator have the ability to change the status of invitees.
