Invite to an event

You can invite members when you create the event. If you want to invite additional members later, it must be done one by one.

If you want to invite people to an event who are not members of the group without adding them as members, you can do so. Go to the event, press "Invite" and select "contact or email/phone number". When you add their information, they will receive an event invitation and can accept it.

If a member is invited to join an event in another group, their parents or carers won't be notified. This is because they are not members (and thus do not have guardians) in the group where they are attending. If guardians are also attending the event, they must also be invited.

The creator of the event will automatically be set as Participant, while any other invited admins will be given the opportunity to reply if they can take part.

You can also invite more people after the event has been created by selecting '# of # admins will take part' under the participant list (you can't invite them to be admins if they are not admins).

If you are an admin, but also want to answer whether you can take part as a participant as well, you can add yourself as a member of the group. You can do this by going to the members tab in the group and adding yourself with your name and the email/mobile number you are registered with in Spond. You can then go back to the event and invite yourself. You'll then be counted in both the participant and admin overview.

If you want to invite guardians to parent meetings, volunteer activities, etc. you can create events for guardians in the same way as you create events for members. In the invitation list, select the guardians tab and choose all or selected guardians. The event will then only be visible to the invited guardians.

For example, if you've an end-of-season event and want to know if both parents and children can attend, you can also invite both members and parents to the event by selecting recipients from both tabs.

When a new member is added to the group, you can choose to invite them to all upcoming events.

If the member has used a group code, you'll be given the option to add them to all existing events when you accept the group request.

If you invite the member manually by their contact details, first enter all the member's details and select Save. A new window will then pop up that allows you to add the member to all existing events.

If this is not done as soon as the member is added, the member must be invited to one event at a time. For recurring events, invitations can be made to all events in the series by selecting Invite -> This and all future events.
