Attendees are `Participant` records on an event. Open **Attendees** to search, filter, add, import, and export.

## Statuses

### RSVP

| Status | When it is used |
| --- | --- |
| `unconfirmed` | Default. No response yet |
| `confirmed` | Accepted / registered |
| `declined` | Said no |
| `waitlisted` | On a waitlist |
| `pending_approval` | Form requires approval |

### Check-in

| Status | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| `not_checked_in` | Default |
| `checked_in` | On site |
| `checked_out` | Left (if check-out is used) |

Each attendee also has a QR code used by staff check-in, kiosks, and the Event App.

## Core fields

Always present on the person:

- First name, last name, email
- Phone (stored and returned as E.164)
- Job title, company
- Registration type (exclusive group)
- Custom field answers from the form

## Registration types and groups

**Registration types** are exclusive groups. An attendee belongs to at most one. They drive form variants, ticket mapping, Event App access, and badge fields.

The Attendees sidebar lists **All attendees**, then each exclusive group with a live count.

Non-exclusive groups also exist for segmentation (email, exports) without changing the person’s registration type.

## Add people

- **Add attendee** — create one record
- **Import** — CSV with column mapping and an error download
- **Public form** — people register themselves
- **API** — create/update via API v2
- **Eventbrite** — import/sync mapped attendees

## Exports

Use the attendee export from the list. Imports keep a history; you can download the original file and rows that failed.

## Event App access

Attendees who are `pending_approval`, `declined`, or `waitlisted` are not treated as eligible Event App users. Confirmed / unconfirmed people can sign in when the app’s access mode allows it.
