- You’ll see You’re In. The event is added to your Events list.
Events that need host approval
Section titled “Events that need host approval”Some hosts review every guest. On these events the button says Request to join.
- Choose Request to join and answer any registration questions.
- Your request shows as Application submitted while the host reviews it.
- GatherEasy notifies you when the host approves or declines. Once approved, you’re in. For a paid event, you then complete checkout.
