Please take note of the following limitations. ### **Advantage** 1. The invitation email can be resent to attendees that have not registered. ### **Limitation** 1. There will be 2 different status for the invited attendees as a manual email is used to replace the original RSVP invitation email. 2. Under the RSVP Invitation tab, the attendee will be classified as Pending status.\ ![](/files/OvV5SKJGrRK0wI0MJznU) 3. Under the Overview tab, the attendee will be classified as Registered status if they have registered.\ ![](/files/Vykv75j8HnxQ0bilH1oD) ### Steps Please refer to the steps below on how to use this method. 1.
