🚀 What’s New? External RSVP for Events

We’re excited to introduce a new External RSVP feature for events. This feature makes it easier than ever to integrate third-party event platforms while seamlessly keeping your community engaged.

What’s New?

Now, administrators can customize the RSVP button in Honeycommb events to:

• Redirect attendees to an external event link (e.g., Eventbrite, Zoom, Google Meet, etc.)

• Modify button text to match the event (e.g., “Buy Tickets,” “Register on Zoom,” “Join Now”)

This allows you to promote and manage events outside of Honeycommb while keeping your community engaged in one place.

🔥 Unlike any other community platform, Honeycommb now allows you to:
Market external events without disrupting engagement in your community.

Simplify RSVP processes with a clear, customizable call-to-action.

Maintain a professional, branded experience while using third-party tools.
