How to Remind Employees to RSVP
Understanding the number of attendees the event will have is essential, which is why it is ideal to make sure all invited employees RSVP a certain amount of time before the start of the event. There are two ways you can remind users to RSVP, let's explore each below!

To set a reminder for users to RSVP from the event settings:
Access the Events feature from the left sidebar
Click on the specific event
Click on the Options button from the top right corner and select the Settings option
Navigate to the Reminders tab and make sure to check the box next to the option Send a reminder to users that didn't register and set the number of minutes, hours, or days before the event deadline for registration you saw on point 4 above.
Then click on Save and that's it! The user will receive an automatic reminder to RSVP at the selected time.
Option 2: Send a Manual Reminder Anytime
To send a manual reminder at any time you wish:
Access the Events feature from the left sidebar
Click on the specific event to access it and scroll down until you find the list of invited users.
Click on the Filter button on the left side and filter the invited users for those whose "Status" "is" "Did not respond".
Then select all of them by ticking the left box. Click on Actions, and select Notify.
Write a custom message and then click Confirm and send
