What Luau does not have
Settings, menus, and pages people (and AI assistants) assume exist but don't, with what to do instead.
Updated September 22, 2026
If an assistant tells you to look for one of these, it's guessing. Here's the real answer for each.
| You may be told to find… | Reality | Do this instead |
|---|---|---|
| A "turn RSVP off" switch | Doesn't exist. | Cap attendance with Max Guests (and Max Waitlist = 0) in the ••• menu's Guest List & Capacity, or delete the event. See Edit your event. |
| A "Signup Settings" menu | Doesn't exist. | The ••• menu has Manage sign-ups (reopens the two-step wizard) and Who's signed up. See Manage sign-ups. |
| A separate edit page | Edit Event edits in place on the event page. | ••• → Edit Event, change things, Save Changes. |
| Hide Guest List / Hide "Can't" / Hide "Maybe" to stop sign-ups | They hide names from guests (the RSVP list, the names on the sign-up board, and the names in volunteer thank-yous). | They don't affect who can claim a spot. Sign-up rules are fixed: roles need a Going RSVP, supplies need any answer. See How guests sign up. |
| Allow Plus-Ones as a sign-up setting | It only controls extra people on an RSVP. | To let more people volunteer, raise the role's headcount in the wizard. |
| A notes field when signing up | None. | Guests message the host directly. |
| Maybe as an answer when pledging supplies | The choices are I'm going and Can't make it, but I'll send this. | Either one lets the pledge through. |
| An AI suggest button inside the wizard | None. | Tell Kai about roles or supplies when creating the event and it drafts the board; edit it in the wizard afterwards. |
| A way to lower a role's count below what's claimed | Refused per item. | Ask a volunteer to cancel their spot, or remove the shift and add it back with the new number. |
| A host control to cancel a guest's sign-up | None. | Guests cancel their own; removing a shift or role cancels everyone on it and notifies them. |
| Duplicate event | None. | Create a new event (Kai can copy details if you describe them), or set up a series for repeats. |
| Cancel event on a standalone event | Cancel exists for series only (one date with Cancel this event, or all of it with Cancel All Events, on the series page). | Standalone events are deleted from the ••• menu; guests get a cancellation notice either way. |
| A text blast / broadcast to guests | None. | Saving a date, time, or location change offers Save and notify, which tells RSVP'd guests by push, email, or text. Sign-up nudges go out automatically. |
| Volunteers' phone numbers or emails on the roster or CSV | Never shown to hosts or other guests. | The roster has names and RSVP status. Luau's reminders reach volunteers for you. |
| Capacity, plus-ones, or guest-list privacy at creation | Not on Kai or the forms. | Set them after creating, in the ••• menu. |
| An Android app | None. | Use the web app at app.luau.co. Hosting, RSVPs, sign-ups, invites, PartyPass taps, check-in, and the gift registry all work there. iPhone-only today: sending Hangvites, Block, Mark urgent, Confirm Attendance, automatic location check-in, and the PartyPass App Clip. |
| Gift Registry or Potluck on iPhone | Web only. | Open the event on the web. |
| Publish sending a "board is live" message to guests | Publishing sends nothing. | Share the board link yourself; RSVP confirmations and the 3-day / 1-day nudges do the rest. |
| A volunteer-specific check-in | None. | Event check-in (PartyPass tap or location) covers everyone; the board can print a QR for it. |
| Tickets, payments, or donations | None. Luau doesn't collect money for events. | Link to your own payment page in the event description. |
| An RSVP list export | None. | The guest list is on the event page; only the sign-up roster exports to CSV. |
| A way to message one guest or all guests | None. | Date, time, or location changes notify RSVP'd guests when you save (push, email, or text). For anything else, text people yourself. |
| A way to remove a guest's RSVP or uninvite someone | None. | For a mutual, set their RSVP to Can't via Manage (web) or Manage Guest RSVPs (iPhone). Blocking a person removes them from your mutuals and stops future invites. |
| An RSVP deadline | None. | Cap attendance with Max Guests instead. |
| Custom RSVP questions (dietary needs, shirt size) | None. | Ask in the description, or add a supply or role for what you need to know. |
| A host-only role guests can't claim | Not yet. | Fill the spots yourself with + Assign someone; any unfilled spot stays open. |
| A host control to move a volunteer to another shift | None. | Ask them to tap Change on their sign-up. Hosts can move a held (unconfirmed) spot to another role on the same shift. |
| A way to transfer hosting | None. | Add a co-host; the event stays under the original host. |
| An in-app switch to opt out of Hangvites | Not yet. | Contact support@luau.co. |
