# community calendar events

Learn all about scheduling events inside communities and access our step-by-step instructions, FAQs, and everything you need to know!

## before you dive in

This article is one step from our [Master Help Guide: All About Communities](https://cqcighsbi.gleap.help/en/articles/10056429-all-about-communities-a-master-help-guide). 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.

will community members be notified when i create a new event?

Yes, when you add a new event, ivorey automatically notifies eligible members. You can customise the notification template inside your [Community Email Notification Settings](https://cqcighsbi.gleap.help/en/articles/12095105-automated-email-logins-and-notifications-for-communities).

why didn't my community members receive the "event reminder" email?

To trigger an automated reminder, you must create the event at least 25 hours before the scheduled start time; otherwise, the notification window is missed
