Host an event, including people who are not on Tether
Invitations, RSVPs without an account, capacity limits, waitlists, and co-hosts.
What this is
Hosting something where half the guest list will never download an app. Tether handles both halves — connections get it in the app, everyone else gets a link that works on its own.
Before you start
Nothing. The friend who will never install anything does not need to.
Steps
- Open Plan and create an event. Title, time, place.
- Invite people. Pull in a whole circle at once, or pick individuals.
- Add anyone who is not on Tether by email — they get an invitation that stands on its own.
- Set a capacity if the room has one. Once it is full, later replies go to a waitlist rather than being turned away.
- Add a co-host if someone else is running it with you.
What to expect afterward
Guests without accounts RSVP straight from the link. No sign-up, no app, no account — they tap yes and you see it.
If someone drops out and a spot opens, the first person on the waitlist is offered it automatically. If details change, everyone who said yes is told, including the guests who never joined Tether.
The free plan covers 12 events a year; Tether+ is unlimited.
Troubleshooting
A guest says the link does not work. Invitation links are per guest. Forwarding one to a different person will not behave — send them their own.
I need to remove someone after inviting them. You can, and they are told the invitation was withdrawn rather than being left wondering.
Nobody is replying. Send a reminder from the event rather than starting a group text — replies land back on the event where you can actually count them.
