FAQs

Q: I downloaded the app from the QR code - where can I find my Event?

A: First, please make sure you download the app and log in using the same phone number you used on the web. If you don’t quickly find your Event in your Event list, please tap the Drafts tab to see if it is there.

Q: How do I edit my invitation after I’ve already created my site?

A: On the web, tap the Edit Flyer option, then tap the Edit button on your flyer. This should launch the Zazzle website and your Invitation design. You can tap Personalize and make your edits. Go back to your Hobnob event page and tap “Refresh” - you should see the updated flyer design afterwards. Please make sure the Event information matches the details in the Hobnob fields, as we will base reminders and other notifications based on those fields.

Q: How do I find the Event site I created without the app?

A: Go to: Hobnob.app and tap “Sign In”, where you’ll be asked to log in.

Q: I have more questions about how to use my Event Site - who can help me?

A: Contact: help@hobnob.io and/or check out Hobnob’s Helpdocs.
