Events Quick Start
Create events, sell tickets, and track attendance. This page is built for the first launch: create one live event, publish it, and make sure registrations can move from ticket sale to attendee operations without confusion.
What this guide gets you
One event page that is published and shareable instead of stuck in setup mode.
One registration flow that proves tickets, attendee records, and operations are connected.
One event reporting view your team can use for post-event follow-up and board updates.
Before you open Events
- An event name, date, and location you are ready to publish.
- A basic ticket structure so you can test the registration path with real options.
- A short event description or image so the page feels complete when it goes live.
Start here
Use this order for your first event launch.
The goal is not to perfect every setting before publish. The goal is to get one event live and prove the registration path works from the public page through internal operations.
Open the events workspace
Go to Events in the top nav.
Create the live event shell
Click Create Event to build your first event.
Publish and share the registration page
Publish the event page and share the link.
Good day-one win
End your first session with one published event, one visible ticket or registration option, and a live page your team can share with confidence.
Core workflows
These are the event motions that matter once a page is live.
Think of these as the operator workflows behind the public event page. They are what keep launches, attendee handling, and reporting connected.
Launch
Create an event
Start here when the event does not exist yet and your job is to get the shell, timing, and registration basics into one place.
- 1Go to
Events→Manage. - 2Click
New Eventand enter basics (name, date, location). - 3Add ticketing or registration details.
- 4Publish the event page.
Attendees
Manage registrations
Use this after the event is live so your team can actually see who registered and what happens next operationally.
- 1Open the event in
Manage. - 2Go to
Registrationsto view attendees. - 3Export the list or check in guests.
Reporting
Track revenue and impact
This is where the event becomes measurable instead of just busy. Use it to understand ticket sales, results, and what to report back.
- 1Go to
Events→RevenueorReports. - 2Review ticket sales and totals.
- 3Use the summary for board updates.
Keep momentum
The habits that keep event operations from drifting.
Most event stress comes from unclear ownership after launch. These habits keep the page, attendee flow, and reporting aligned while the event is active.
Event habits
- Add a short description and image to boost signups.
- Set reminders for staff and volunteers before the event.
- Review no-show rates to improve next time.

FAQ
Questions teams usually ask once an event is active.
These are the practical issues that tend to surface after tickets are live and staff starts operating from the system.
