Overview

This guide walks through how to create a new event in Yayem using the current creation flow. You’ll configure the event basics, location details, schedule, access rules, and pricing before publishing it live.

Events can be in-person, virtual, public, members-only, free, or paid — with flexible guest and pricing options.


1. Navigate to New Event

In Admin, go to:

Experiences → New Event

This opens the experience creation form, organized into five expandable sections:

  • Basics

  • Location

  • Schedule

  • Access

  • Pricing

You can move forward using Next, or expand and collapse sections in any order.


2. Basics

This section defines how the experience appears across the app.

Required

  • Title
    Enter the name of the experience (max 50 characters).

  • Upload Image
    Upload a square image used across the app.

    • Recommended size: 500 × 500

    • Formats: JPG, PNG, WEBP

    • Max size: 10MB

Optional

  • Description
    Add a short description to set expectations for attendees.


3. Location

This section controls where and how the experience takes place.

Required

  • Host
    Select the host or organizing entity for the experience.

Optional

  • Capacity
    Set the maximum number of total attendees. Leave blank for unlimited capacity.

Experience Type Toggles

  • Partner Event
    Displays a “Partner” tag on the experience in the mobile app.

  • Trip
    Marks the experience as a trip and displays it in the Trips section of the app.

  • Virtual Experience
    Indicates the experience is virtual. Members will receive access to a livestream link.


4. Schedule

Define when the experience occurs.

Required

Date & Time

  • Date

  • Start Time

  • End Time

Multiple Sessions

Add Time Slot
Add additional start/end times for the same date.

Add Another Date
Add additional dates under the same experience.

This is useful for experiences that run multiple sessions under a single listing.


5. Access

Control who can see and book the experience.

  • Open to Public
    When enabled, non-members can view and book the experience via your public web app.

  • Allow Guests
    Allows members to bring guests.

  • Guests Per Member
    Set how many guests each member can bring.
    Example: Enter 1 to allow one guest per member.


6. Pricing

Set how much members and non-members pay.

Base Pricing

Free Experience
Enable to make the experience free for all members.

Member Price
The standard price members pay unless tiered pricing is enabled.

Guest Price
Price a member will pay for alotted guest.

Non-Member Price
The standard price non-members pay when the experience is open to the public.


Advanced Pricing Options

Tiered Pricing

  • Enable to set different prices based on membership tier.

When enabled, you’ll see a price field for each membership tier. Enter the desired price per tier.

Hotel Guest Pricing (Mews Integration)

  • Enable to offer a special price for hotel guests.

  • Guests with an active Mews reservation within the next 90 days automatically receive this price when booking with the same email.

  • If a hotel guest is also a member, the member price overrides the hotel guest price.

Additional Options

  • Add External Link
    Add a custom hyperlink to the experience (e.g. itinerary, RSVP form, or external details).

  • Late Cancellation Hours
    Define how many hours before the experience starts cancellations are considered late.


7. Publish the Experience

At the bottom of the page:

Back
Returns to the previous section.

Publish
Publishes the experience and makes it available for booking.

Once published, the experience appears in the mobile app — and in the public web app if public access is enabled.


Admin Tips

  • Upload a clear, compelling image — it has the biggest impact on engagement.

  • Double-check access and guest rules before publishing.

  • Use tiered pricing sparingly to keep booking simple.

  • If an experience includes multiple dates or sessions, confirm all time slots before publishing.
