Posting upcoming events on a "Calendar" page is a great way to drive engagement and keep your members informed about community activities and opportunities to be involved! Below are instructions for how to add an event to a calendar.
Create an event
First, navigate to edit the "Calendar" page. Here, you can create an event in two ways. The first option is to click the “Create event” button from the menu at the top. A second option is to find the calendar date and click there to start creating the event.
Event info
Start by adding a title and the location of the event. You can also optionally provide a description of your event under the “Notes” section. Here, you can format the text as needed, as well as add accompanying links and images. There is also the option to attach files corresponding to the event (e.g., meeting agenda).
If the event requires RSVPs, check the box next to “Allow RSVPing.” If this is chosen, you can also select a maximum number of attendees and include a question prompt if needed. Once all information has been entered, click the “Continue” button.
Event timing
The final step in creating an event on your calendar is to specify the date and time. Start by selecting the event's start and end dates. If your event lasts all day or is ongoing, check the "All-day event" option. Otherwise, choose the specific start and end times in the drop-down menus.
Next, decide if the event needs to repeat and how often it should do so. Once finished, click the "Create" button to add the event to your calendar!
