Questions and answers
Short answers for the team and the owner. Tap a question to open it.
Getting started
What is Eventvoi?
One place to run a retreat or festival: bookings, what each guest still owes, rooms, documents to sign, guest emails and check-in at the door. Your shop keeps selling; Eventvoi reads the booking and payment emails it already sends.
Who is it for?
Organizers of multi-day retreats and festivals from about 30 guests, and the team that does their admin.
How do we get an account?
Eventvoi sets up your organization and sends your contact person one welcome email with a sign-in link. There is no self sign-up yet; to look around first, use the demo.
How do I sign in?
With your work email: Eventvoi emails you a code and you type it in. There is no password. Two-factor sign-in with an authenticator app is optional, on the Security page.
How do I add my team?
The Owner and Organizer invite people on the Team page. A Team member can invite too; that invitation starts once the Organizer approves it.
Who sees what?
Owner and Organizer see everything. Team sees all guests, payments per person, rooms and the Inbox, but not the finance summary, fees or agreements. Check-in sees the lists and the door, including what each person still owes. The Owner and Organizer can change this under “What each level can see”.
Can I start from last year's event?
Yes: “Copy event” copies the structure (booking types, rooms, roles). Guests are never copied, and the copy starts as a draft.
Which languages does it speak?
Twelve: Bulgarian, Chinese, English, French, German, Hindi, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Spanish, Swedish and Turkish. Each team member picks their own, and guest emails go out in the guest's language.
Is there an app to install?
No app store needed: Eventvoi runs in the browser on a phone, tablet or computer.
Daily work
Where do I start each day?
“To do” at the top of the menu counts what waits for you: emails, bookings to confirm, and items that need the Organizer's OK. Workflow shows the event's open work and its numbers on one page.
What does “Unconfirmed” mean?
A booking that came in from an import or pasted text and that nobody has confirmed yet. Press “Confirm” on its “To confirm” row; if the guest has paid nothing yet, Eventvoi asks once.
Can I undo a mistake?
Yes, for the everyday actions: applying an email, confirming, recording a payment, moving someone to another room and checking someone in each show “Undo” for 10 seconds.
How do I find someone fast?
Press “/” on any page to search. On Guests, the filters are tick boxes with a count beside each choice.
Where is everything about one guest?
On the guest's own page: booking, payments, room, notes, documents and history. Each section saves itself; there is no Save button to forget.
How do held places and the waitlist work?
A held place keeps a spot until a date. Nobody moves off the waitlist by themselves: Guests offers each one its next step (“Offer a place”, “Confirm”, “Release place”), with Undo.
How do I cancel a booking?
“Cancel booking…” on the guest's page. It starts on “No refund”, says what will happen, and offers Undo; “Reopen” puts the booking back as it was.
Can a guest give their place to someone else?
Yes: “Transfer place…” on the guest's page. The old arrival pass stops working and the new person gets a new one.
Can I write to all guests at once?
Yes, in Messages: “Write to guests” to everyone, the unpaid, those with documents not signed, one role or one accommodation. Three group messages a day per event; the Owner can send more after one question.
Can I write to the team or the volunteers?
The Owner and Organizer can, with “Write to the team” in Messages: the whole team, the volunteers, or one crew role.
Is there a packing list for the team?
Yes: the “Bring-along list” on Arrivals: the item, who brings it, and a tick when done. Guests never see it.
Emails and the Inbox
Where do our booking emails go?
Your organization has one booking address. Forward your shop's booking and payment emails to it (or add it as a recipient of the shop's “new order” email), and each one lands in the Inbox.
What does Eventvoi do with an email?
It reads it and prepares the change: a new booking, a payment, a cancellation. You see the result in three boxes: “Ready” (one click, or “Apply all”), “One question each” (answer with a button), and “Needs a closer look”.
Does anything change without a person?
Not unless you turn it on. “Apply clear emails automatically” is a switch per event and is off by default; what it applies is listed in “Changed today” on Workflow, with Undo. Diet and health details are never applied automatically.
Can I trust what the AI read?
Check it: the AI can make mistakes, which is why a person applies each change (unless you switch on “Apply clear emails automatically”) and the original email is shown beside it. Eventvoi also asks you when something does not add up, for example dates outside the event.
Do I have to answer the same question every time?
No. Once you say what a shop product is (for example which room type), Eventvoi remembers it for that event.
What if an email comes from an address we don't know?
It is kept and marked “Unknown sender — not applied” until a person checks it. Add your shop's address on the approved senders list and its emails are recognised from then on.
Can I paste text or import a spreadsheet instead?
Yes: “Paste people” and “Paste rooms” in the Inbox, or Import for a CSV or Excel export. Import tells you per row what will happen (new, already in, possible duplicate) before anything is saved.
What happens to emails after an event?
About two weeks after an event's last day it stops taking booking emails; a late one is flagged instead of applied. Your other events keep receiving as normal.
Which emails does Eventvoi send to guests?
Only practical ones: the arrival pass (QR code, link to their personal page, calendar file and map link), reminders to sign documents, a copy of what they signed, a check when they change their email address, and the messages your team writes. Booking confirmations, receipts and invoices stay with your shop.
Who do guests' replies go to?
To your own team's address (the reply-to you set on Admin). Emails arrive as “<Event> via Eventvoi”; Eventvoi does not read the replies.
Does Eventvoi send newsletters or marketing?
No, and it may not be used for them.
How do I know an email arrived?
Messages lists every email to and from the event's guests with its delivery state (Sent, Delivered, Bounced…). If a pass bounces, the guest shows on a list with a WhatsApp button, and the guest can correct their address on their page.
Money
Does Eventvoi take payments?
No. Guests pay through your shop, bank or in cash, as now. Eventvoi keeps track of what was paid and what is still owed.
How does a payment get in?
From a payment email you apply, from an import, or by hand with “Record payment”: the amount is filled in and you pick Cash, Card or Bank.
When does a booking show as Paid?
When the payments recorded cover what it owes. A payment from an email counts once applied; a quiet note says it is not yet checked against your shop's export.
Can I check Eventvoi against my shop?
Yes: import your shop's export and Eventvoi lists orders it never saw and any status or amount that differs.
Deposits and payment plans?
Each booking can have a payment plan with due dates. Guests shows who owes money after the due date, and a paid line says how it was paid (for example “Cash · Paid”).
We take more than one currency. Is that a problem?
No. Each payment keeps its own currency and nothing is converted silently; Finances can add up a total with a rate you enter.
Is Finances our accounting?
No. It is a rough view of one event's income, expenses and result, not bookkeeping. The Owner and Organizer see it, and team members they give access to.
How are refunds handled?
Eventvoi never moves money. The Refund panel keeps track of each step until “Refunded”, or keeps the money as a credit for the guest's next booking; refunds asked by the Team wait for the Organizer by default.
Rooms
How do I set up rooms?
Each event has its own room types and how many of each. Paste the list, type it, or read it from a screenshot (the Owner or Organizer switches screenshot reading on; it is paid per reading).
How do I put people in rooms?
On Rooms, tap a person, then a free bed. “Suggest placement” proposes a plan and keeps men and women apart by default; before you place someone with a person of another gender, Eventvoi asks.
What does the venue get?
A rooming list (each room with the names in it, or each room type with its people), the notes meant for the venue, and a food list, from Exports.
Arrival
What does a guest see?
A private link, no login: a short summary of their booking, their arrival pass, and a “Still to do” list (documents to sign, arrival time, phone, emergency contact, diet).
How do guests sign documents?
On their personal page, by typing their full name. Each document is at most 500 words, the guest gets a copy by email, and a parent or guardian approves for under-18s where you allow them.
Are guests reminded to sign?
Yes: by default 7 days and 1 day before the event. You can change the days or switch it off per event, and send a reminder by hand.
How does check-in work?
On Arrivals, type a name and press Enter; or open the gate scanner on a phone and scan the arrival pass. Green means go in; red says why (not paid, not confirmed, documents not signed, already in). Every check-in has Undo.
What if the internet is down at the gate?
On the gate scanner, download the guest list first; it then works offline and sends the check-ins when the phone is back online.
Someone still owes money at the door?
The screen shows what is owed. Record the payment there, or check them in as “still owes”.
Your data
Is our data kept apart from other organizations?
Yes. Each organization's data is separated by rules inside the database itself, and this is tested on every change. One client can never see another's guests.
Where is our data stored?
In a database in the EU (Ireland). Emails go out through Postmark and incoming booking emails arrive through Cloudflare; to read a booking email, its text goes to Anthropic (Claude). Your guest list is never sent.
Does the AI see our guest list?
No. It only gets the text being read, plus the event's own product and room-type names. The AI provider does not train on this data.
How long is data kept?
Health and diet details are deleted 30 days after the event, booking emails 180 days after the event, and everything else 365 days after the event. This runs automatically every day.
Can Eventvoi's staff see our guests?
Our staff have no access to your guest data through the app, unless you invite one of us to your team. That access ends when you remove them, and everything they change shows in your History. Our staff page shows only counts and billing, never guest details.
Can a guest see or delete their data?
Yes. On the guest's page, “Personal data (export or delete)” gives a copy or removes their name, contact and health details for good.
Can we see who changed what?
Yes. Each guest's History says who did what and when, including changes that came from an email.
Do you use tracking or analytics?
No.
Cost and trial
What does it cost?
1.50 USD per paying participant per event, the founding price until the end of 2026. Anyone who pays counts, whatever their role; people who don't pay, and the organizer and co-organizer, are free. There is no minimum.
When do we pay?
The count is taken the day after the event ends, and the invoice is sent after that. Prices are in USD; no VAT is charged at present.
Can I try it first?
Yes: the demo opens with one click and no sign-up. You get your own private copy of a sample festival with about 75 guests; it is deleted after 24 hours, nothing is sent, and AI reading is off.
