Event fields

  • Start Date & Time: uses the date/time picker.
  • Duration: predefined time increments.
  • Timezone: stores the event in its scheduled timezone and shows attendees localized times automatically.
  • Max Attendees: leave blank for unlimited.
  • Cover image: drag and drop or upload a recommended 1200x600 image.
  • Location type: choose Zoom, Google Meet, physical, or custom details.
  • Location URL (Optional): meeting link or address.
  • Access: choose a preset such as public sign-in, public guest registration, signed-in visitors, community members, ticket holders, or closed registration.
  • Publish Immediately: turn off when the event should stay drafted until review.

Public guest registration is best for webinars, open houses, and public events where visitors should reserve a spot with only their name and email. Use signed in, community member, or ticket-holder access when the event should stay limited to existing members or customers.
