Responding to Events

Tell your choir whether you plan to attend

On this page

  • Respond in the app
  • Responses, visibility, and check-in

When an event asks for a response, your answer gives the choir leadership a useful headcount before the event. Responding records your plan. Check-in, when enabled, records whether you were actually there.

Respond in the app

  1. 1

    Open the event

    Open the event from Your choir or the calendar. Tap Please respond below the event details.

    Choose your response

    Select I'm attending or I can't attend. The response is saved to the event, and you can normally change it later unless responses have been locked.

    Add an absence reason if useful

    If you cannot attend, ChoirMate asks whether you want to give a reason. This is optional. Enter a short note or choose No to report the absence without one.

Responses, visibility, and check-in

Some events start with members marked as attending, while others require an explicit answer. The event can also control whether members see one another's responses. Choir administrators can always use the attendance view for planning.

If check-in is enabled, ChoirMate may ask attending members to confirm their presence during the event. Check-in does not replace your advance response. It helps the final attendance report reflect who was actually present. If the event allows it, an accidental check-in can be reversed.

Tip

Update your response when plans change. A current answer is more useful than an early answer that is no longer correct.
