Creating Guest Lists

Create public, private, or permanent guest lists and control registration access, limits, assignments, and notifications.

Create the guest list and enter its details

Give the list a recognizable name and configure the information displayed to guests.


Type

  • Public: Allows guests to register externally. The list must be assigned to an event before guests can use it to register for that event.
  • Private: Visible only in the administration area. Team members can add guests through the Manage Guests area.
  • Permanent: Stores guests who should remain on the list across events. Assigning the list to an event imports its guests into that event.

Requires a direct link: Once a public guest list is assigned to a user as a personal guest list, it no longer appears under Manage / Public Pages / Public Guest Lists Links. Guests can only reach it through its own direct link or an embedded widget.
