Add a person individually

Adding people individually to your event allows you to create personalized invitations. This guide will walk you through the process of adding a single person to your event's invitation list.

Adding a person to your event

1. Navigate to the Invitations section

   Log in to your IO account and select the event you want to add people to. Click on Invitations in the menu. This will be on the left of the screen on desktop or at the bottom of the screen on mobile.

   If you have no existing invitations, you'll see the empty state screen. Click the + Add your first invitation button in the middle to get started. When adding subsequent invitations, click the + icon at the top of the Invitations list view.
   

3. Select an invitation list

   When creating your first invitation, a default invitation will list be generated automatically. You can create additional lists if you need to by clicking on the Default list dropdown at the top of the Invitations list view and then on Create new list. Creating different invitation lists gives you fine grain control over how different groups of people are allowed to register.

   If you have multiple invitation lists, you can either select the list you want to add the person to before clicking to add a new invitation, or you can select the relevant invitation list from the dropdown on the form while adding the invitation.
