# Managing Your Event

Once you have created a shift, it’s up to you to make sure that people attend! How to check RSVPs and take action to fill your shift.

[**Checking RSVPs**](#checking-rsvps)

[**Filling Your Shift**](#filling-your-shift)

## Checking RSVPs

To see who has signed up for your shift, you can navigate to the ‘Events’ tab in the top menu, then ‘Browse events’. Scroll through the list to find your event, where you’ll see the number of attendees on the event listing. You can find the specific attendees if interested by clicking ‘Details’.&#x20;

**\*Note:** *After RSVPing to an event, a confirmation email for the event is sent to the activist from which they can add it to their calendar if desired. In addition to their device’s default reminder settings, they can also set a reminder on their Stampede account page if they choose this option. Reminders are sent 24h before an event starts.*

## Filling Your Shift

If you still have open spots left for your shift or would like to remind people of your upcoming event, you can do so by sending group reminders or individual invites through Slack and [Stampede](https://stampede.proanimal.org/). Sending individual invites is a great way to encourage activists to attend, and helps make newer or less involved community members feel more welcome.

1. **Slack:**&#x20;
   * Send a message in Slack to the **#campaign** channel.&#x20;
   * Send individual messages to activists in Slack. (**\*Note:** *Only depend on this for activists that you know to be active on Slack, as not everyone regularly checks their messages*)
2. **Stampede:**
   * Send a bulk text message reminder to a group of activists.
   * Send individual texts to specific invitees.&#x20;
   * Invite people who live close to your event (this feature sends an automatic text to whoever you invite)

**\*\*You can find step-by-step instructions for sending messages through Stampede** [**here**](/for-organizers/organizer-guide/engaging-activists.md#using-stampede-for-outreach)**.**

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://handbook.proanimal.org/for-organizers/organizer-guide/managing-events-and-shifts/managing-your-event.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
