before you dive in
This article is one step from our Master Help Guide: All About Communities. We recommend starting with the Master Help Guide before diving into the technical setup below.
Each Master Help Guide acts as your project plan – teaching you the feature, laying out the steps in the right order, and linking to every resource you’ll need along the way.
This guide is perfect if you want to:
Add live events to your community space such as Q&A's and webinars
Manage recurring or one-off events
Control who can access or register for each event
how to add events to your community calendar
The Community Events Calendar makes it easy to create recurring or one-time gatherings for your members, such as Q&As, workshops, meetups, or any other events. The built-in Events Calendar makes it simple to schedule, manage, and notify members about gatherings, all without leaving the community.
