Inviting Supporters to an Event

Last updated: February 25, 2026

WeGive lets you send event invitations directly to supporters from the admin. Invitations are required for Invite-Only events and optional for Public and Approval Required events.

How to Send Invitations

  1. Open the event and go to the Invitations tab

  2. Click Send Invitations

  3. Define your audience using the rules builder or select individual supporters

  4. Review the recipient count

  5. Click Send

Each invited supporter receives an email with a unique link to the event registration page.

Invitation Links

Each invitation contains a personalized link tied to the recipient. For Invite-Only events, this link is required to access the registration form. Forwarding the link to someone else grants them access.

Resending Invitations

To resend an invitation to supporters who haven't registered:

  1. Go to the Invitations tab

  2. Filter by Not Registered

  3. Select recipients and click Resend

Viewing Invitation Status

The Invitations tab shows each invited supporter and their current status:

⚠ Things to Watch For

  • Invitation links do not expire. A supporter can use their link to register at any time while the event is live.

  • For Invite-Only events, the invitation link bypasses the access restriction — anyone with the link can register, not just the intended recipient.

  • Sending invitations does not create a registration. It only sends the email. The supporter must complete registration themselves.

  • There is no limit on how many times you can resend invitations, but repeated sends to the same person may trigger spam filters.
