Attendee Management Tools - Track Attendees

 Guest List Management
Track every guest detail, head counts and more

Our online guest list tracker is built with lots of flexibility to adapt to your guest management needs. Upload your guests from a file or another application (like Google, Salesforce or MailChimp). Easily add Plus Ones and arrange guests into groups or families. Create meal choice options and custom fields for compiling specific details for attendees. Manually track RSVP status and view up-to-the-minute headcounts.

Getting your guest details out of our guest list tool is just as easy and putting them in. Download formatted PDF or .csv files of your guest lists. Print out formatted name badges (compatible with Avery templates). And use lists from old events as guest list templates to save time.

 Online RSVPs & Registrations
Customize meal choice options and add custom data fields for additional guest details

In addition to our online guest list software tool, we offer an event website builder where you can create a custom website to collect RSVPs and registration details. Add panels to your event site for text, images, galleries, videos, schedules and maps plus social media integrations. Customize your site with your event colors as well as your own URL or domain name.

Once your event site is set up, invite your guests to visit your site and use the RSVP/registration panel there to provide their RSVP reponses as well as answers for meal choices and custom questions you can create.

Attendee Checkin Tool

 Complete Event Management
Manage every event detail with more than two dozen event planning tools

With Planning Pod you can create a guest list and much, much more. For example, you can use our online guest check-in app to quickly check in attendees at your event. Or build a to-scale layout of your event and use the guest list to drag-and-drop guests onto seats for an assigned seating chart.

In addition our productivity tools let you manage event tasks, calendars, itineraries/schedules, files, checklists, worksheets, budgets, vendors, staff and volunteers. And our 38 pre-built templates will save you time in setting up each event and getting started.

 Custom Data Fields
Customize meal choice options and add custom data fields for additional guest details

Often you need to collect more than just RSVP status and contact information for your guests. Our event and wedding guest list manager lets you add specific meal choice options as well as custom fields/questions for collecting additional data from your potential attendees or participants.

For example, you can create open response or multiple choice questions that your guests can reply to via the event website when they are RSVPing. Collect lodging and travel details as well as guest preferences. Conduct polling. Allow guests to upload files / submissions. And compile all this information inside the guest list tool.
