1. Create a new event or edit an existing virtual event and enable the “Allow visitors to RSVP to this event” option.

2. Within this section, configure your RSVP settings that will dictate how users will interact with the RSVP form on the front end. You can enable or disable one of these settings:

• Show list of guests who are NOT coming to the event (on eventCard)
• Limit maximum capacity count per each RSVP
• Allow only logged-in users to RSVP to this event
• Activate event happening minimum capacity
• Show RSVP form within EventCard instead of lightbox
• Close RSVP before event start (in minutes)
• Show only certain additional fields in RSVP form (separated by commas)
