Benefits of Private Events

• Personalized Invitations: Guests are spared the hassle of entering their name and email since the invitation is customized specifically for them, saving their time and effort.
• Controlled Guest List: With private invitations, you maintain complete control over your guest list. The invitation cannot be forwarded to others without your authorization, ensuring only intended recipients can access the event.
• Enhanced Privacy: Private invitations are not discoverable by search engines, providing an extra layer of privacy and keeping the registration link confidential.
• Seamless Data Integration: Survey questions answered by guests are automatically saved to their contact information in your Gatsby Database. This enables you to have a comprehensive record of their preferences and responses.
• Streamlined Survey Experience: If you've asked certain survey questions to a guest before, Gatsby's private invitations auto-fill those questions, such as obtaining permission to send marketing newsletters or inquiring about dietary restrictions. This saves guests from redundant input and improves the overall survey experience.
