How to Use PostSheet for Event RSVPs and Calendar Invites with Personal Context

You’re hosting something — a webinar, virtual event, team meeting, roundtable, happy hour, onboarding session…
Now you need to:

✅ Invite the right people
✅ Add a personal touch
✅ Track RSVPs
✅ Make it easy to attend

But most invites feel generic. And tracking it all in your inbox? Chaos.

With Google Sheets + PostSheet, you can send personalized event invitations (with custom calendar links) that look like they came straight from your desk — and manage RSVP tracking in one place.

Let’s break it down.


🎉 Why Personal Event Invites Get More Yeses

Mass invites often get ignored. But a message that says:

“We’d love to see you there…”

That makes a difference.

✅ Higher attendance
✅ Stronger relationships
✅ Easier scheduling
✅ Better experiences for guests

And it’s all easy to pull off with one sheet and PostSheet.


📋 Step 1: Create Your Invite List in Google Sheets

Whether you’re pulling from LinkedIn, HubSpot, or your head — structure it like this:

NameEmailEvent NameEvent DateEvent TimeCalendar LinkCustom MessageRSVP Status
Jamie Wongjamie@email.comGTM Roundtable2025-05-101:00pm ETlink.com/rsvp-jamie“We’ll be talking GTM ops!”Invited
Alex Riveraalex@email.comAI Tools Happy Hour2025-05-114:00pm PTlink.com/rsvp-alex“Casual, no slides, just fun”Invited

Optional columns: time zone, role, segment, invite type, reminder sent


✉️ Step 2: Write a Clean, Personal Invite in PostSheet

Your invite should feel like a 1:1 message — not a blast.

Example:

css

Copy

Subject: Join us for {{Event Name}} on {{Event Date}} 🎉

Hi {{Name}},

We’re hosting **{{Event Name}}** on {{Event Date}} at {{Event Time}}, and we’d love to have you join.

👉 RSVP here: {{Calendar Link}}

{{#Custom Message}}  

P.S. {{Custom Message}}  

{{/Custom Message}}

No pressure — just a casual get-together with smart folks like you. Hope to see you there!

– [Your Team / Host Name]

Adjust tone and CTA based on event type (roundtable vs. training vs. mixer).


🚀 Step 3: Send and Track with PostSheet

  1. Filter your sheet by RSVP Status = Invited
  2. Connect to PostSheet
  3. Map merge fields like {{Event Name}}, {{Calendar Link}}, {{Custom Message}}
  4. Preview messages — tweak for key guests if needed
  5. Send!

Bonus: Create a Google Form or Calendly link for RSVP, and track replies directly in your sheet by updating RSVP Status.


🔁 Bonus: Send Reminders and Follow-Ups

Use the same sheet to send:

  • ⏰ Day-before reminders (“Just making sure it’s on your calendar!”)
  • 📩 Day-of nudges (“We’re live in 1 hour — here’s your link”)
  • 📥 Post-event replays or thank-you messages

Just filter by RSVP status and time windows, then fire off the message.


🧠 Event Types This Works Great For

  • 🧑‍💻 Webinars, workshops, or product demos
  • 🧠 Founder or customer roundtables
  • 🎉 Virtual meetups or happy hours
  • 📅 Internal team training or onboarding
  • 🤝 Partner or affiliate briefings
  • 🧑‍🏫 Community or course cohort kickoffs

Basically: if you’re inviting humans, this helps you do it better.


✅ Why PostSheet Makes Event Invites Personal (and Practical)
