Invitees are created when a ticket purchaser assigns a ticket in their order. Purchasers can include name, mobile number, email, and mailing address (optional). With a valid phone number or email added, the invitee receives a notification prompting them to confirm their ticket. Once the ticket is confirmed, the invitee is registered on the campaign site.

Invitee Users with a both a Ticketed and Non-Ticketed Account
Users who register through one of the registration pathways, added as a new user by an admin, or entered as a donor or solicitor on an item and have an unconfirmed ticket assigned to them, will show two user accounts. If a mobile number is included on the non-ticketed user account, the two accounts will automatically merge when:
- The ticket is confirmed - If the same mobile number appears in both user accounts when the invitee confirms their ticket.
- The Invitee account is checked-in by an Admin - From Users > Check-In, select and complete the check-in of the ticketed invitee account to confirm the ticket.
Note: If duplicate account is missing the mobile number, or has a different number, manually merge them after the ticket is confirmed or they check-in. Visit Merge Duplicate User Accounts to learn more.
Add Item for Invitee
Admin or volunteers can place a bid, donation or purchase an item on behalf of an invitee. When a bid, donation or purchase is placed, the invitee will become a user on the event. This will confirm their ticket, and allow them to be included in future messaging groups. They will no longer appear as an invitee, nor will they be included in the invitee messaging group.
