RSVPing to events in Bettermode is fast, flexible, and fully integrated into the community experience. Members can register with a single click, receive confirmation and reminder emails, and sync the event to their personal calendars. For recurring events, they also have the option to switch their RSVP to a different date — no need to cancel and start over.
This article explains how members RSVP, change dates, and manage their attendance for Easy Events.
How to RSVP to an Event:
Open the event post you’re interested in (via the Events space or an embedded post).
Click RSVP Now.
If the event is part of a recurring series, select one of the following:
This event only (to RSVP to a single date)
This and all future events (to RSVP to all upcoming occurrences)
A confirmation message will appear, and a confirmation email will be sent to the member.
How to Switch to a Different Date (Recurring Events Only):
Return to the event you originally RSVP’d to.
Click Switch date.
Select the new date you’d like to attend.
Confirm your selection — you’ll receive a new confirmation email for the updated RSVP.
How to Cancel an RSVP:
Go to the event post where you previously registered.
Click Cancel RSVP.
Choose whether to cancel:
Just the current occurrence
All upcoming RSVPs (if you had registered for the full series)
Members can RSVP again at any time as long as the event hasn’t reached its capacity.
How to Add the Event to Your Calendar:
After RSVPing, click the Add to Calendar button.
