I had a similar thought as well, except no automatic sign up. What if the sent email had a reply-to address specific to the event?
In the event invite email you could have a short message that tells the person can just reply to the email with a 'Yes/No/Maybe' in the subject and any thoughts or questions in the body. The service would then show the appropriate response on Julie's event. 'Maybe' responses would be marked somehow to show they need manual review and Julie would be able to see the the response text from the email and easily set the status for that person.
To help make it simpler, for people that don't change the subject you could default to a 'maybe/review' response or try language processing on the response text.
Combine this with your idea of including links in the email for a quick response and I think it could work.
- nickbaum 15y agoBeing able to interact with the app without signing app is something we've wanted to do. We chose to get it out the door first so we have a larger user base to learn from, but hopefully we'll get to it soon. Great suggestion!
- dodo53 15y agoFrom my experience of facebook - I'd say aggregating or having the choice of aggregating all the email would be really nice. So instead of a So-and-so is doing X, would you like to join them? You could have - Your friends are planning the following things this week/later this month. Reply with subject X to join in.
