Creating an in-person event

Creating an in-person event

Open the event creation flow


You can create an in-person event in two ways:
  • Click the + icon in the top-right corner and choose Event.



  • Click any date in the calendar to open the quick create popup. Then click More Options to open the full event form.

If your community has Custom Events enabled, start by choosing the event type you want to create from the list and under the three dot menu.

 

Enter basic event details   

  1. Enter the event title in the Title field.

  2. Set the start date and time.

  3. Set the end date and time.

  4. Enable All day if the event runs for the whole day.

  5. Enable time zone support if you want to create the event in a different time zone than your current one.

  6. Enable Repeat Event if the event is recurring, then choose the required schedule.

  7. Add the location.

The location can be:

  • A physical address

  • An online meeting reference

  • A general location note

 

Choose invitees and assistants

Under Invitees, choose whether the event should be created as a:

  • Community event

  • Space event for one or more spaces

  • Personal event for selected individuals


If someone is helping you manage the event, add them under Assistants.


Configure RSVP, description, attachments, and notifications   

To let members confirm participation, enable Allow users to RSVP.

Add a description with all the relevant details, such as:

  • The agenda

  • Instructions for joining

  • Any preparation required


If you have supporting documents, use Add Attachments to include files with the event.

Choose how you want to notify participants:

  • For community and space wide events, you can also increase visibility by posting the event update on that Feed Wall so it is easier to discover and engage with.

  • Enable Send email notification to send an email invite or update


Create the event   

Once everything looks correct, click Create to publish the event.
