SOP - Create ActionNetwork RSVP for an Event

Event Creation

Example Event Creation Screen

Administrative Title (A)

This title is used only inside ActionNetwork (AN). The current standardized titles are formatted as YYYY-MM-DD of the date the action is created followed by a short title of the event.

Note on Event Time

Please remember to change the Time Zone to Pacific Daylight Time between the second Sunday in March and the first Sunday in November. Pacific Standard Time is used for the remainder of the year. Otherwise, guests will see your event time as one hour off.

Event Description (B)

  • The event description. You can include hyperlinks and format the text
  • The first paragraph should sell the guest on attending the event
  • You should include a description of what the person should expect when attending the event.
  • At the bottom, include the time, location, and Zoom link. If a guest cannot find the RSVP email, following the RSVP link should get them the Zoom/Google Maps link.

Auto-Reply Email Response

This response will go out to everyone immediately after they RSVP. Below is the default template along with the shortcodes (text inside the {{brackets}}). This should be updated with a better default.
