Response Options 🟢🟡🔴
Response options are the buttons your members use to reply to an event. Gumb starts with "I'll join", "I won't attend" and "Not sure yet". You change, add or delete them in the settings with the gear ⚙️, in the Response Options tab.
How to create a response option
- Click the gear ⚙️ next to your community's name and open the Response Options tab (1).
- Click ➕ at the top right (2).
- Give the response a name and pick a color.
- If needed, check Require comment.
- Click Save changes.
To change an existing response, click the pencil (3). The trash can next to it deletes the response.
When should I use "Require comment"?
For declines. With the box checked, members have to add a comment when they pick this response, e.g. why they can't come. You don't have to ask, and nobody declines without a reason. For "yes" responses you usually don't need it.
How many response options make sense?
Three are enough for most: yes, no and maybe. Every extra option makes the choice longer for your members. Only add what you actually track, e.g. "Coming later" or "Only watching". Color and an emoji in the name make the responses quick to read in the Scheduler.
Can a response be preselected?
Yes, per event type. Under Set Event Defaults, you pick a default response that is already filled in for everyone invited. More: Create Event Types 🎫
Where do I see the responses?
In the Scheduler, for every event, as a colored field per person. In the calendar export, each response option gets its own column. More: Statistics & Exports 📊
