The People Block is your go-to tool for managing who’s joining an event. From tracking attendance to sending RSVP requests, the People Block ensures everyone on your team is accounted for. This overview introduces the People Block’s purpose and functionality, with links to detailed tutorials for specific tasks.
What is the People Block?
The People Block gives you an organized way to manage members for each event. It helps you:
- Track who’s attending, who’s tentative, and who’s unavailable.
- Send RSVP requests to confirm attendance.
- Set permissions that determine what event details members can see.
Whether you’re managing a small crew or a large team, the People Block ensures you have the right people involved and informed.

How the People Block Affects Event Access
The People Block is directly tied to event access and visibility:
- Members must be added to the People Block with a status of "Attending," "Maybe Attending," or "Pending RSVP" to see the event in their calendar or iCal feed (unless they have universal access permissions).
- Permissions like "View attending events" and "View in attending events" rely on a member’s inclusion in the People Block. For more details, see permissions and the People Block.
