I am doing several events this spring and I was hoping that invitees could RSVP ‘yes’ or ‘no’ but I cannot seem to figure out how they can decline through the registration form. I currently have them email me if they cannot attend and then we manually add them. I would love to get rid of this manual step, especially when we have hundreds of invitees for some events. Anyone find a way to do this? Am I missing an obvious setting change? Thanks in advance for your insight!

    @Carly Slagel - Welcome to BB Community! You are not missing anything within the NXT Event Forms - they are natively set-up to be positive response only. There is a work around you can try, it is not perfect but it may help you cut down on some of the extra work you are doing. Add two fees due to the event summary page in web view - make them something along the lines of “Attending” and “Not Attending”. Then set an Event Form with these options. Users can choose how they are responding to the invite. You will have to do some work on the back-end to change the RSVP status for those that responded “Not Attending” through the form, as the system will code them as “Attending” by default.
