Purpose

Create an event for your page in Connect, then publish it now, schedule it, or keep it as a draft.

When to use this

Use this when you manage a page and need to set up a new event in the Connect app. The wizard supports ticketed events and free RSVP events.

Step by step

1. Open Events in Connect.
2. Tap the plus button to open New event.
3. In The basics, enter a Title, choose a Category, and optionally tap Add a cover photo.
4. Tap Continue.
5. In Describe it, add a description or leave it empty, then tap Continue.
6. In When is it?, set Starts and Ends, then tap Continue.
7. In Where is it?, enter the Venue and, if useful, the Address (optional), then tap Continue.
8. In Set it up, choose Ticketed or RSVP, then set who can see the event, its Audience, and its Capacity.
9. For a ticketed event, review Ticket sales, then tap Continue.
10. In Tickets, set each ticket's Name, Price, and Quantity. Tap Add ticket type if you need another option, then tap Continue.
11. In Advanced, choose any optional settings you need, then tap Continue.
12. In Ready to go?, review the event and choose Now, Schedule, or Draft.
13. Tap Create & publish, Schedule, or Save draft to match your choice.

After you have entered a title, you can also tap Save draft at the top of the wizard before reaching the final step.

Troubleshooting

• If Continue is disabled, check the current step. The wizard requires a title, an end time after the start time, a venue, and a positive maximum when capacity is limited.
• For a ticketed event, each ticket type needs a name and a valid price. It also needs a positive quantity unless unlimited quantity is selected.
• An unfinished checkout question also prevents you from continuing. Finish it or remove it before moving on.
