# RSVP Links for Guest

Guest events allow organizations to account for expected visitors ahead of time. RSVP links are an optional Guest events feature that allows anybody to register for an event. By following the RSVP link, event attendees will be taken to a web page where they will be required to complete event registration steps.

## Manage the RSVP link

RSVP links are generated when the event is created, and they are retrievable in the event details on the employee portal.

<div align="left" data-with-frame="true"><img src="https://1436127735-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FZyuELZr7uIcXX3WnjX0N%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-a8b1b2ce72cbff4a32f9824a8cface00d8454235%2F319fb58f659daad8d056d1e0a44591a219d654b5.png?alt=media" alt="" width="563"></div>

Disabling the RSVP link toggle will expire the previous link, but visitors who registered via the RSVP link are not affected.

## Register for an event with an RSVP link

RSVP links are publicly addressable links that anyone can access. Prospective attendees will complete the required guest type steps as part of registration for an event through an RSVP link. The workflow for registering a visitor from an RSVP link is outlined below:

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### Visitor follows RSVP link and fills out form.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Security screening results and other denial reasons can be addressed on Command in the [Guest Events](https://help.verkada.com/guest/configuration-and-setup/guest-events/guest-events) page.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Attendees can mark themselves as present from the link emailed to them, or can mark themselves as present on a Guest tablet. Separately, a Command user can sign in an event attendee on the day of the event.

{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
