#AskFedi — Looking for a platform recommendation!

I help lead a small nonprofit supporting #neurodivergent #students and #parents. We are 100% volunteer, and we produce a few different series of events throughout the year.

We need better ways to communicate with (paid) members and (unpaid) “friends”.

What platform/tools could I use to, for example, let someone RSVP or express interest in an event series, check the box to get auto reminders and text notifications re: all events in that series. For example: “event is tomorrow at 9am. See you there!” or “it’s raining! We’re meeting at x instead.”

Ideally this platform could also do email. One-off campaigns/blasts with simple segmentation (members and/or friends) and maybe some automations (like a welcome flow for new members).

We can pay a reasonable amount; doesn’t have to be FOSS/self-hosted/linux/etc. 😜

(I’ve asked a similar question here before, but I think we have made progress clarifying our specific needs.)

@scott with #geobeer in Switzerland, we use https://ti.to and it has served us well. Currently no events planned at https://eobeer.ch though
Tito

Simple, powerful, event registration software

@ping13 Thanks for sharing this! Looks like a really nice platform. All our events are free, however, and Tito looks set up for fee-based (ticketed) events. Thanks!

@scott geobeer.ch events are also free. Tito helps to limit the number of people by issuing free tickets because demand is usually higher than the available seats per event. Maybe @rastrau can comment on his recent experience. AFAIK we never paid for tito.

@ping13 @rastrau oh wow that’s great. I just looked at their pricing and so assumed it wouldn’t make sense for free events. 😁

@scott @ping13 I like it, although we don't use all features and thus could do with a (even) simpler experience. It's completely free to use if you don't charge for your events. Redistributing cancelled tickets, changing quotas, waiting list, custom messages to ticket holders and waitlisted people are all possible.
