Community Events provide a platform for organizing local meetups, online workshops, or celebratory gatherings to engage and strengthen your community. Whether in-person or virtual, these events enable you to bring together members, clients, or followers to foster meaningful connections. Follow the steps below to create community events.
Access the Group
Begin by logging in to the group using the group URL, or from the Membership > Groups section in your account.
Adding an Event
After joining the group, go to the Events tab located in the upper menu. Any past events within the selected timeframe will be displayed in the Calendar view. To schedule a new event, click the +Event button.
A new modal will then appear prompting you to fill out the following fields:
Title: Provide the name of the event.
Color: Choose a color for easy identification and categorization.
Start Time: Set the beginning time of the event.
End Time: Specify when the event should conclude.
Timezone: Select the appropriate timezone from the dropdown menu.
Recurring Event: Indicate if the event repeats (e.g., weekly, monthly). Selecting this box will allow you to set the frequency of the event.
Location: Specify whether the event will occur via Zoom, Google Meet, or another location.
Link: Insert the link or address for the event.
Description: Enter an overview of the event highlighting key reasons why members would want to attend.
Hide Meeting Location: Choose this option if you want to keep the event location private.
Upload Image: Add an image to enhance the event listing.
Who Can Attend: Define the audience (members only, or members at a certain level).
Email Reminders: Choose whether to remind attendees of the event a day before its occurrence.
Once all required fields have been sufficiently completed, click the next button to configure the Payment details.
To add charges to the event, select the Paid event type and enter the desired amount in the Price field. Specify the Currency, then toggle the switch to choose between accepting live payments or test payments. If the switch is disabled and appears greyed out, live payments are enabled.
Alternatively, select “Free” for members to have access to the event without paying a fee.
Save
After confirming all your configurations, click the Create Event button to save your event.
Once the event is added successfully, the individuals you permitted to attend the event in the event setup will receive an email notification, which will provide them with the option to register for the event.
That's it! Now you can connect with members in your community to boost your brand's presence and value within your community.
