Can I approve from my phone?

Yes. The Guests page works on a phone, and the filter and Approve buttons are the same.

Do rejected guests know they were rejected?

They receive the rejection email, which you can soften or change under Emails. You can also delete the registration silently by not sending it, but we recommend telling people.

Can approved guests bring companions?

If you allow companions, yes. Companions are approved with the main guest and receive their own tickets when they have an email.

How does manual approval of registrations work?

Short answer

Turn on "Require manual approval for registrations" under Edit Event. Everyone who registers through the public link becomes Pending approval and gets an email saying you will confirm. On the Guests page, filter on Pending approval and click Approve or Reject, one by one or in bulk. Approved guests receive their QR ticket (free events) or a payment link (paid events).

Turn it on

Open your event, click Edit and enable Require manual approval for registrations.
Optionally add custom questions so you have what you need to decide: company, who invited them, Instagram handle.

Review

On the Guests page, use the filter Pending approval.
Open a registration to see the answers, then click Approve or Reject. Select several rows for bulk approval.
Approved guests get the approval email with their QR ticket, or the payment link on paid events. Rejected guests get a short, polite email; you can edit both templates under Emails.

What the guest sees

After registering: a confirmation that the registration was received and that you will confirm. The texts are yours to change under Registration texts. If tickets come from a partner, switch off the QR wording in the confirmation and the approval email.

Guests you add yourself

Approval applies to public registrations only. Guests you add or import are approved by definition.
