Getting an event ready to launch on Let’s Do This doesn’t have to be complicated.
In this webinar, we walk through the full process of setting up an event on Let’s Do This, from initial creation through to final pre-launch checks.
Whether you’re building your first event or duplicating an existing one, this session shows exactly what to review before hitting Ready to launch.
Creating your event: choosing the right starting point
The session begins with the three ways you can create an event and when to use each one:
Start from scratch - Best for first-time events or when you’re creating a completely different format.
Repeat an event - Ideal when the same event is running again on a new date. This copies everything across, making it the fastest option for annual events.
Make a copy - Best for similar events that need changes (such as name, date, or location). Some elements won’t carry over, including reviews, capacities, and event-specific discount codes.
Avoid updating the date on an old event, as this can mix previous participants into a new event’s start list!
2. What to set-up before launch
Once your event is created, the webinar demo's the key areas to review in Manage event, including:
Event details & event page content :Images, descriptions, logistics, FAQs, tags, and terms & conditions.
Races: Setting up multiple distances or activities, each with its own start time.
Tickets: Pricing, open and close dates, booking fees, purchase limits, fast checkout, and age restrictions.
Booking forms: Required for each tickets to be bookable
Custom booking questions: Created as booking form fields and then added to the relevant booking form.
3. Common setup issues (and how to avoid them)
The most common reasons tickets aren’t bookable, including:
Event details not updated after copying or repeating an event
Tickets still marked as sold out
Booking forms missing or not live
Ticket availability dates left in the past
These are quick fixes once you know where to look!
