Creating Events
Use Create Event to enter the core event details, platform, category, date, links, and media.
- Events cannot be scheduled in the past.
- Thumbnail and cover uploads are separate.
- Published non-admin changes may enter moderation before going live.
Drafts And Publishing
Draft events are private to the owner/admin workflow until published.
- Drafts appear in My Events and are labeled as draft.
- Followers and subscribers cannot see draft events.
- Publishing assigns a 6 digit event code when needed.
Event Codes
Event codes are short 6 digit lookup codes for active events.
- Codes are assigned when an event is first published.
- Codes stay with the event if it is unpublished and republished.
- Past event codes are hidden and later released for reuse by the system.
Invites And RSVPs
Signed-in users can RSVP to events and invite friends where those features are available.
- RSVPs help users keep track of events they intend to attend.
- Friend invites use the current friend list and respect friendship state.
- Notification preferences control how event invites are surfaced.
- Account Settings includes a private calendar feed for upcoming events you have RSVPed to.
Calendar Feeds
Calendar feeds let users subscribe to event schedules from calendar apps instead of downloading one event at a time.
- Use the Calendar link on the event listing for the public upcoming-events feed.
- Use the Add to Calendar button on event pages for a stable single-event .ics URL.
- Use Subscribe links when your calendar app supports webcal subscriptions.
- Public pages advertise calendar feeds through alternate link metadata for clients that support feed discovery.
- Use the Account Settings calendar link for your private RSVP feed.
- Reset your private calendar link from Account Settings if the old URL should stop working.
- Calendar feeds follow the same public visibility and maintenance-mode API rules as other machine-readable feeds.
Recurring And Streak-Friendly Events
Recurring events and consistent hosting activity can support future awards and achievement rules.
- Monthly, weekly, and daily hosting patterns can be used for streak-style badges.
- Missing a streak period can revoke streak badges when those rules are configured as revocable.
- Keep event dates accurate because achievement rules use event timing.
