Get Notified When Guests RSVP

Instead of refreshing your guest list to see who has responded, Fotify can email you the moment a guest replies to your invitation. RSVP notifications send you a confirmation email every time someone accepts, declines, or signs up through your registration form — so you always know where your headcount stands.

This is an opt-in setting you control per event, and it's turned off by default.

How to Turn On RSVP Notifications

1. Go to your event dashboard at dashboard.fotify.app
2. Select your event and click "RSVP" in the sidebar
3. Open the "RSVP & Guests" tab
4. Find the "RSVP Notifications" section and expand it
5. Toggle "Email me on each RSVP response" on

That's it — the change saves immediately. From now on, each new response triggers an email to the address on your Fotify account.

If you haven't set up your invitation yet, start with How to Create Your RSVP Invitation.

What Triggers a Notification

Once enabled, you'll get an email when a guest:

• Accepts the invitation — the email shows their name and how many guests they confirmed
• Declines the invitation
• Self-registers through your public registration form link

Each email includes the guest's name, their response, the confirmed party size (for acceptances), and any comment they left. A "View guest list" button takes you straight to that event's guest list in the dashboard.

Good to Know

• Per event — the toggle applies only to the event you set it on. Turn it on for each event where you want alerts.
• Sent to your account email — notifications go to the email address you signed up with.
• Respects your account email preferences — if you've turned off email notifications for your Fotify account entirely, RSVP notifications won't be sent even when the per-event toggle is on.
• High-volume events — for a large guest list expecting many responses at once, you may prefer to leave this off and check the guest list directly, where you can filter by status and see live counts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will guests see these notification emails? A: No. RSVP notifications are sent only to you, the organizer. Guests receive their own separate confirmation when they respond.

Q: Do I get an email for guests I mark as attending manually? A: Notifications are triggered by guest-submitted responses (through their RSVP link or your registration form). Updates you make yourself from the dashboard don't send you a notification.

Q: I turned it on but I'm not receiving emails. Why? A: First check that email notifications are enabled for your Fotify account — the per-event toggle is ignored if account-level email notifications are off. Also check your spam folder and confirm the email on your account is correct.

Q: Can I turn it off later? A: Yes. Return to the RSVP & Guests tab, open RSVP Notifications, and switch the toggle off at any time.

Q: Does enabling this resend emails for guests who already responded? A: No. You'll only receive notifications for responses submitted after you turn the setting on.
