Creating a COPE Calendar Event: How do I create an RSVP for my new event?

As you create a new event you will have the option to Add an RSVP. You will then be able to customize this option and monitor the responses once the event is approved. You may use an automated RSVP form, create your own, or use one created with another system. You can also add an RSVP to a previously created event.

If you use an automatic form:
