# Add attendees yourself

> Register someone for free, or email them an invite to accept and pay, straight from the event.

You'll end up with people on your registration list without them having to find the event and sign up on their own.

## When to use this

- Someone paid you outside Soul (cash, bank transfer) and needs a spot.
- You're giving a complimentary place to a guest, assistant or co-facilitator.
- You're re-adding someone who was removed by mistake.
- You want to personally invite specific people, who then accept and pay.

## Steps

**Step 1: Open Registrations**

Go to [Offerings → Events](https://portal.bringsoul.life/events), open the event and click
Registrations. Click Add Attendee. (It only appears once the event is published.)

**Step 2: Choose how they get access**

Under How should they get access?: - Add directly: *"Registers them now (existing accounts) for
free, no payment collected."* - Send invite: *"Emails an invite they accept (and pay for) before
they appear as registered."*

**Step 3: Choose the ticket**

Pick the Ticket type. For a repeating event, tick the dates they should attend. Dates that are
Full can't be picked.

**Step 4: Add the people**

Under People, enter each person's Email and, optionally, Name. Click Add Another for more.

**Step 5: Add a discount (invites only, optional)**

For a paid invite, you can choose a Promo code so they pay less. Only codes that apply to this
event are listed.

**Step 6: Send**

Click Add to event or Send invites.

## Follow up on invites

Invites appear under Invited people on the Registrations tab with a status of Pending, Accepted, Expired or Cancelled. You can resend or cancel a pending invite from there.

## Good to know

- Add directly is free and skips payment. Use it only for people who already paid you or are your guests.
- If someone already has access or a pending invite, you'll see _"Could not add existing attendees. They already have access or a pending invite to this event."_
- Added people get the same confirmation, reminders, materials and chat access as anyone who registered themselves.

## What your members see

Add directly: they're registered right away, and the event shows on the Calendar tab in their [Activity](https://bringsoul.life/activity?tab=calendar), where it opens their ticket. Send invite: they get an email, accept it, pay if the ticket is paid, and then appear as registered.
