4. Upon saving an event, open it and add hosts. This will allow users to know who will be running the event.
Hosts can be selected from location members. Users will be able to see hosts listed under the event depending on the host's name visibility setting. For instance, if the host sets their name to be visible to "Location Members", only members will see the host under the event, while nonmembers will not.
Once you create an event, it will be visible on your Events page.
How to create paid events
Upon creating an event, keep "Joining" turned on and specify the price in money or credits. Once you save the changes, users will be able to purchase tickets.
How to create free events
Upon creating an event, keep "Joining" turned on and disable the "Credits" and "Money" options. Once you save the changes, your customers can join the event for free.
Event reminders
Your app sends several reminders of upcoming events to event attendees:
Email confirmation (if enabled in event settings) at the time of purchase
Notification 24 hours before the event starts
Notification 1 hour before the event starts
In-app banner on the Locations page until the event ends.
Our recommendations
After creating a new event, draw attention to it by posting about it in Feed. All location members receive a notification with a preview of the post, ensuring they notice the new event. Embed the link to this event from the Events page in your post text so users can easily click on it to RSVP or purchase a ticket. This way, your members will always stay notified about all events you organize and won't miss out.
Using this module is only available on specific plans.

Can members add events to the app?
Can members add events to the app?
In your app, only administrators can create events. However, a process for members to submit event requests can be set up through the Shop page. To do this, create a new product on the Shop page with specified rules, a questionnaire, and event hosting guidelines (you can name it "Request Hosting Your Event", for example). Members interested in hosting an event can apply and leave event details in the "Comment" section, and administrators will reach out to them, create an event in the app, and add the user as a host.
