When you send an attendance confirmation request on LINE, the message quickly gets buried in the chat history. Important requests get mixed in with other conversations and are easily overlooked, making it difficult to receive responses.
Moreover, unclear response instructions (like "Please reply in comments" or "Please react with an emoji") confuse participants. Without a clear deadline, people tend to postpone their responses. This makes it harder for organizers to track who has responded and who hasn't.
An effective solution is to collect attendance responses using a dedicated link. A single link can present options like "Yes," "No," and "Maybe," allowing participants to respond with just one click. Since responses are automatically compiled into a list, tracking the status becomes much easier.
A group poll also hides who has not answered yet, so the host keeps scrolling instead of seeing a list. Keep in mind that a missing reply is not the same as a "No": treat silence as "not recorded yet," and ask once, in the same thread, with a clear deadline.
When you send a follow-up, restate the date, the place, and the time you need an answer by. Ask for one of three words only—going, can't go, or maybe—and put the same question on a page guests can open without joining another group. That second copy matters for people who muted the chat: they can still open the link from a direct message.
Keep every reply in one list. Create an event and send the public invite link; hold on to the separate edit link yourself so the list is not something the group can rewrite. After the deadline, read the list once: anyone still missing gets one direct message, not another poll buried in the group.
Why don't people respond to attendance confirmations on LINE?
Messages get buried in the conversation thread and people are unclear about the deadline and how to respond.
Can you collect attendance responses without requiring registration?
Yes. Create an event and send the link—participants can respond without logging in.
