Product update
Guided social event creation
Create social events in four steps—basics, when and where, optional capacity tickets and recurrence, then review before publish.
Club nights and open houses deserve a calm setup flow—not a wall of fields on one screen.
Why we built it
Publishing a social event means balancing details, schedule, location, capacity, tickets, recurrence, and guest responses—easy to skip a step or ship half-configured pages. Guided social event creation replaces the old single form with a wizard: Basics → When & where → Options → Review. Staff name the event, add imagery, set date/time and address, optionally turn on capacity, paid admission, and recurring series, then confirm on Review before the event is created (often as a draft you publish when ready).
Who it is for
- Marketing and events staff on Marketing & Events.
- Teams running repeating meetups who generate series then publish each date—see More flexible recurring social events.
- Anyone following Create a social event for RSVP and check-in afterward.
What you can do
- Basics — title, description, and hero image customers see on the event page.
- When & where — start/end, facility or off-site address search for directions.
- Options — optional max attendees, paid admission (ticket options after create), and recurrence with weekday and end-date controls.
- Review — read a plain-language summary, go back to any step, then create.
- Fine-tune RSVP fields, publishing, and tickets on the event edit screen after creation.
How it fits your day
Use the wizard for net-new events; duplicate an existing club night when only dates change. Pair with Clearer event publishing and RSVP controls when you need flyer-only pages or draft vs live visibility.
Get started
Open Create social event from the marketing calendar, walk through all four steps on a test event, create as draft, then publish from the event editor when RSVP settings look right.
