Events show up in your church app’s calendar so members can see what’s coming up, get the details, and add it to their own phone calendar. Here is how to create one from the dashboard.
Create an event
- In the left side menu, go to Events.
- On the Events tab, click Add Item in the top right.
- Under Basic Info, type the Event title.
- Pick an Organiser (the contact shown on the event) and a Category.
- Set the start date and time, and the correct Time zone.
- Upload a Main event image. A high quality 1920x1080px image (16:9) looks best.
- Add a description so people know what the event is about.
- When the details are final, switch the toggle to Published so the event appears in the app.
- Click Save.
Before you start
Set up your organisers and categories first, so you can select them while creating the event. Organisers and categories each have their own tab in the Events section. See Event Organisers: create multiple contacts and assign them to events.
Tips
- Leave the event unpublished while you are still editing. Published events are visible to everyone using the app.
- You can edit any event later from the Events tab.
