A: The codes can be sent out as soon as the event is created, and remain valid for 7 days after the event date.

Q: What happens if an app user loses their event code?
A: You will need to remove the person from the event, re-add them and resend the code.

Q: I've accidentally sent too many codes to one person. Which one should they use?
