How do I add and edit guests by hand?
Short answer
On the Guests page click "Add Guest", enter at least a name, and an email if the guest should receive invitations and a QR ticket. Phone, tags, notes, language and companions are optional. Click a guest later to edit any field; changes save immediately and sync to your team.

Add a guest
- Open your event, go to Guests and click Add Guest.
- Enter the name. Add the email if the guest should get emails; without one they are a list-only guest you check in by name.
- Optional: phone, tags (VIP, press, table 4), a note only your team sees, the guest's language, a greeting name for emails ("Hi Tom" instead of "Hi Thomas van der Berg"), and companions with names.
- Save. The guest is Pending with no invitation sent. Send the invitation when you are ready.
Edit a guest
- Click the name, or the three dots on the row, then Edit guest. Every field can be changed, including the email; resend the invitation after fixing an address.
- Use the row menu for quick actions: check in, add companion, resend invitation or QR ticket, delete.
- Select several guests with the checkboxes for bulk actions: send, tag, allow companions, delete.
Finding guests
Search by name, email or phone; filter by RSVP status, tag, companions or invitation status. Real-time search keeps a 1,000-guest list usable. Every change is saved at once and visible to team members without a reload.
Questions about this
- Can I add a guest without an email?
- Yes. They appear on the list and in the scanner for check-in by name, but cannot receive invitations or a QR code until you add an email.
- How do I add many guests at once?
- Import a CSV on paid plans, or share the public registration link and let guests add themselves.
- Can I mark a guest as attending myself?
- Yes. Edit the guest and set the RSVP to Attending, for example after they confirmed by phone. A QR ticket can then be sent from the row menu.
