Create and share a guest link for an event, reply as a guest without an account, then view the replies and revoke the link as a leader.

Show transcript

Here you see how people without an account reply through a guest link. You start on the event page.
As a leader you find the card for replies without an account there. The maximum number of replies protects against misuse.
Create guest link makes the link. It is shown only now, so pass it on right away.
You copy the link, send it by WhatsApp or email, or put up the QR code.
Now we open the link as a guest, with no sign-in at all. The guest sees the event and a short privacy note.
The guest picks any name, a nickname is enough. They say yes and bring two companions.
With Send reply, that is it. The guest can change the reply later or delete it again.
Back with the leader, the card shows the count: one yes with two companions.
With View replies you read the names. You can remove single replies if needed.
With Revoke you end the link. You can also delete all guest replies at the same time.
Anyone opening the link afterwards sees that it is no longer valid. For proposed dates the same works in the date poll.

Prerequisites

Event organizers (creator or the “Edit all events” right) can create guest links, read replies and revoke links. Everyone else does not see the card.

Create a guest link
Open the event and go to the card “RSVP without an account (guest link)”. Set the “Maximum replies” if needed and click “Create guest link”.
Share the link
The link is only shown now. Copy it with “Copy link”, share it via WhatsApp or email (a text template is prepared) or show the QR code to scan.
Follow the replies
Below the link you see yeses (with companions), maybes and declines. “View replies” shows the names and lets you delete single replies with “Remove”.
End the link
“Revoke” makes the link show “no longer valid”. Choose “Revoke and delete all guest replies” if the replies should disappear too.

You can find the feature here: /termine/<id>

“There is no guest link for events aimed at children.”: Children are never registered through a guest link but through their guardians. Use the normal registration.
“No further replies are possible via this link.”: The maximum has been reached. Create a new link with a higher number.
“Unfortunately all places are taken.”: If the event has a capacity, guests count against it together with their companions. A decline is always possible. Raise the capacity in the event or end the link.
Guests see “no longer valid”.: The link was revoked, has expired or the event was deleted. Create a new link; the old one cannot be restored.

Guests give only a name of their choice (a nickname is enough), no email address. They state companions only as a number, never by name. The name is stored encrypted and visible only to the event organizers.
Replies are deleted automatically 30 days after the event. Guests can change or delete their reply on the page themselves.
For a recurring event the link covers the whole series: guests choose which of the next dates they reply for. A link for a single occurrence cannot yet be chosen in the interface.
A link is valid until one day after the event (90 days for series). At most 20 active links per event are possible; the maximum number of replies is at most 500.
