Hey Everyone!
I was just hoping to see if anyone had any insight on how or if people were doing online RSVP to donor events. Ideally we would want to collect any fee/donation amount for said event at transaction time. I don't think we want to go as far as use the ticketing module I don't think we are entirely against it though, it just seems like a bit overkill. Any suggestions or insights are appreciated.
Thanks!

We did this though it's not completely automated. Basically the way it works is the guest's donation gets recorded using the Contributions tab of Ticket Orders. Along with the contribution we have a CSI that is created with all the other information we need to collect (number of guests, guest names, etc...). Development then runs a CSI report and moves the information to the correct place in the History/Events tab. It's not perfect, but we highly prefer it to the old method of having to manually enter the contributions (which meant credit card numbers being printed off, etc...). If you'd like any more details please let me know! To the best of my, admittedly limited, knowledge Elevated Events themselves are not accessible to the web API so this seemed the best workaround.
