Customisable event RSVP button

 We’re very happy to announce that the option to customise the RSVP button is now available platform-wide when you’re creating an event   Thank you to all those who contributed their use cases, voted and share their feedback on our research article! 

Since the Events module has been released, we have learned that our customers have different preferences and needs from an event hosting platform, some using even an event management solution.

Your communities are the perfect place to promote events and drive attendance to the webinars and workshops you’re organising. Unfortunately, the user experience was not intuitive enough on the event page, as the RSVP flow within the community events frequently caused confusion amongst users, making them think they are registered by simply clicking the Attend button on the community event, while in reality, the actual registration required accessing and filling in forms hosted outside of our platform. 

As @mhuddleston very clearly explained in her idea, together with the use cases and feedback brought up by @Scott Baldwin, @JessEs, @alex.maks, @nicksimard, @Kgastaldo and @DannyPancratz,  there was a clear need to be able to capture registrations and attendance lists in external tools and guide the users in as few steps as possible. We hope this improvement will bring bigger audiences to your events!
