Community Events give you a way to organise local meetups, online workshops, or celebratory gatherings to engage and strengthen your community. Whether in-person or virtual, they let you bring together members, clients, or followers to build meaningful connections. Follow the steps below to get started.
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
Once you've joined the group, go to the Events tab in the upper menu. Any past events within the selected timeframe will appear in the Calendar view. To schedule a new event, click the +Event button.
A modal will appear asking you to fill in the following fields:
- Title: Provide the name of the event.
- Colour: Choose a colour for easy identification and categorisation.
- 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 take place via Zoom, Google Meet, or another location.
- Link: Insert the link or address for the event.
9. Description: Enter an overview of the event, highlighting key reasons why members would want to attend.
10. Hide Meeting Location: Choose this option if you want to keep the event location private from non-attendees.
11. Upload Image: Add an image to enhance the event listing.
12. Who Can Attend: Define the audience (members only, or members at a certain level).
13. Email Reminders: Choose whether to remind attendees of the event a day before it takes place.
13. Attendee Lists: Choose whether to keep the guest list public or private for other members.
📌Note: Events can be hosted in a live room, via Google Meet or Zoom, or in a custom location. A meeting link is set up during creation, giving attendees a consistent, seamless experience where they can join directly from the event, including on mobile.
Once all required fields are filled in, 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 access the event without paying a fee.
Save
Once you're happy with your configurations, click the Create Event button to save your event.
Once the event is added successfully, the people you permitted to attend will receive an email notification with the option to register.
Managing Attendees
After members join the event, you can view the attendee list by going to the Events tab and clicking on the event.
A small window with the event's information will pop up. From there, click the Guest count or eye icon to view the list of attendees.
Click the Download icon to export the list as a CSV file.
That's it! You can now connect with members in your community to grow your brand's presence and value.
