Hey there…I posted a similar request to simplify the RSVP process in the newsletters Click here to view the post
Could you implement something like that while you work on the instant RSVP from an email feature?
I think parents get overwhelmed with so many emails and when you have a very active troop (like ours) you get too many emails - new events + reminders for upcoming events + newsletters + random emails in between. It’s overload, so they just ignore them all.
Simplifying the newsletters so you only see event titles and have to click for more info would actually make them read the event details. Use the newsletter to show only a LIST of the upcoming events and their RSVP status (registered, no reply, declined) so they can stay on top of it.
Oh yeah - and make it easy for them to add all RSVP’d events to their Google calendar please!
