You do not have to keep checking whether someone has answered. The bell at the top right of the bar collects everything that happens with your event and lets you know in real time. A red dot on the bell means there is something new.
Reading and clearing your notifications
Click the bell icon at the top right, right next to the search. The list „Benachrichtigungen" (notifications) opens.
Unread entries have a coloured background and carry a dot. A click on one marks it as read.
If that feels too one by one for you, click „Alle gelesen" (all read) at the top and the whole list is done in one go.
The 20 newest notifications are shown. If nothing has happened yet, it says „Keine Benachrichtigungen" (no notifications).
These are the notifications you get
About your guests: „Neue Zusage" (new acceptance), „Absage erhalten" (decline received), „Vielleicht-Antwort" (maybe answer) and „Neuer Gästebuch-Eintrag" (new guest book entry).
About your page: „Meilenstein erreicht!" (milestone reached) as soon as your event page has 50, 100, 250, 500, 1,000, 2,500 or 5,000 views. A little reason to smile along the way. 🎉
About your Premium: „Abo läuft bald ab" (your plan runs out soon), „Abo abgelaufen" (plan expired) and „Zahlung fehlgeschlagen" (payment failed). We remind you about the end date 30 and 7 days beforehand, by email as well.
About support: „Antwort auf deine Bug-Meldung" (reply to your bug report), when our team has answered something you sent us.
Good to know: Only the notification „Antwort auf deine Bug-Meldung" is a link. A click takes you straight into the chat with our team. All the other notifications are purely information, and clicking them does nothing except mark them as read.
Notifications belong to one event
The list only ever shows notifications for the event you currently have selected. If you are planning several events, switch over under Meine Events (My events) and take another look in the bell there.
Frequently asked questions
Nothing arrives for me at all.
Notifications about acceptances, your guest book and milestones only start once your page is published, because before that your guests cannot answer yet. While you are still designing, the bell stays quiet.
An older notification has disappeared.
The list shows the 20 newest entries. Older ones slide out. You will still find all your replies in full with your guests, nothing gets lost there.
I have not created an event yet and never see a notification.
That is exactly right. Notifications always belong to an event. As soon as you have created one, your bell starts filling up.
