Description
Hi,
I'm quite new to Drupal and RSVP and I'm trying to figure out how (and if) it is possible to send out Invitations upon an Event creation, instead of first creating the event and then going under the Invitations Tab and sending out the invitation. Is it possible to have a proper field during the event creation to insert Invetees mails and all the other options?
thank you in advance!

Hi Marco,
There is no automatic inter connection between Events and Invitations.
After you created your Event you have to create an invitation first (because the invitation text might be different then then event description). And then you have to add guests to the invitation before can send the invitation to the added guests.
This is the only way how it works if you set it up through the GUI.
However, if you are familiar with php, I added an API that you potentially could use to create an invitation, add guests to the invitation and send the invitation all done in teh background.
Thanks,
Ulf

Thank you very much Ulf.
is there any documentation on how to use the API?

Hi marco,
unfortunately, I have not written any documentation about the API, and the API is not very well tested. But that is your chance to help and my chance to make it right.
All available API functions are located in file rsvp.api.inc. The functions are self explanatory and contain comments about the used parameters.
Please give it a try and create a bug report if something is not working as expected.
Thanks,
Ulf
