Social Share and RSVP Options Deprecation
What changed:
The "Facebook Share" option will no longer appear as a link type when creating or editing a link in the Social Links element. The Facebook icon will still be available in the icon picker, and hosts who want to link to a Facebook page or URL can continue to do so using the Generic Link option — which remains fully available.
Important notes:
The Facebook icon itself is still available and can be selected when adding a new link.
To link to a Facebook page or profile, select the Facebook icon and choose "Generic Link" to enter your desired URL.
No action is required for existing events; this change only affects the available options when adding or editing social links going forward.
What's changed:
The Social RSVP question type, that allowed guests to register using their Facebook or LinkedIn credentials, auto-populating fields such as first name, last name, and email, has been removed from the Form Builder question bank.
Important notes:
Any existing RSVP forms with the Social RSVP question will still have the question, but it will not function. We recommend removing it.
Any existing guest data previously collected via the Social RSVP question (e.g., LinkedIn profile fields, Facebook profile ID) remains accessible in the guest list.
