Creating an event

There are two ways to start a new event from your host dashboard:

• On Overview, click Create event
• On Events, click the + button in the top right

Event details

• Cover image: shown on the event page and in listings. After you pick a photo you can drag and zoom to frame it. It is cropped to 4:3 and resized for you.
• Event Name: clear and specific, like "Wine Tasting: Natural Wines of Portugal" or "Book Club: January Meeting"
• Time: the date, start and end
• Location: the venue and address
• Description: what will happen, what to bring and anything people should know

Event options

• Ticket price: choose Free or Paid. The minimum paid price is €3.00, and you need to connect Stripe before selling.
• Ticket types: on paid events, offer more than one ticket at different prices. See Ticket types.
• Require approval: review each request before someone can join. See Approval mode.
• Hide who's going: keep the attendee list and count off the public event page
• Capacity: how many people can attend. It is unlimited unless you set it. When an event is full, a waitlist opens automatically.
• Recurring event: repeat the event weekly, biweekly or monthly. See Recurring events.
• Booking questions: ask attendees something when they book. See Booking questions and guests.
• Who it's for, Good to know and FAQ: these use your club's details unless you change them for this event
• Discount codes: promo codes for paid events. See Discount codes.

On a phone, each option opens full screen.

Preview before you publish

Click Preview to see the exact page your guests will see, before anything is saved.

Publish or save a draft

• Create event publishes the event straight away
• Save as draft keeps it private until you are ready

A published event appears on your club page and in Weeknights listings, and your subscribers are notified. After publishing you can invite people straight away.

To publish a draft later, open it and click Publish, or edit it and click Publish event.

Managing an event

Click an event on the Events page to open its own page, with its guests, requests, waitlist and insights. See Managing your guest list.

Its Settings tab changes how people book without opening the edit form: Require approval, Hide who's going and Fill spots from waitlist save as soon as you switch them. It also has Add spots, a link to edit the price and booking questions, and Cancel event.

Each event in the list also has a … menu. On a computer it opens as a menu, and on a phone it fills the screen:

• Review requests: shown when requests are waiting on an approval event
• Check-in: before the day of the event (on the day, use Start check-in on the event)
• Edit event: change the details, then click Save changes
• Duplicate: start a new event from this one
• View event page: the public page
• Cancel event, or Delete draft for a draft

To share an event or invite people, use Share event and Invite guests on the event's Overview. See Inviting people.

Finding your events

The Events page shows your events as cards, a list or a calendar. Filters lets you sort and narrow by status and price. On a phone, the calendar shows your week as a list of what's on each day.
