How to

Cap RSVPs and use the waitlist.

Capacity is optional. Set it for events with a real ceiling (a lounge, a small hall) and leave it blank for everything else.

1. Open the editor.

For a new event, go to /host. For an existing one, open the edit link from the email you got when you published.

2. Find the Event options card.

It sits below the description, halfway down the page. Each row has a label and a control on the right.

3. Type a number into Capacity.

Anything from 1 upwards. The placeholder reads Unlimited when blank. Once you tab out, the platform stops accepting RSVPs above the number; everyone past the cap goes onto the waitlist.

4. The waitlist runs itself.

When someone cancels, the next person on the waitlist gets promoted into the confirmed list and emailed. You don't have to do anything.

5. Remove the cap later.

Clear the number to go back to unlimited. Existing waitlisted RSVPs become confirmed in the order they joined.
