Events

Solidarity Tech's integrated event management system helps you plan and promote events, gather RSVPs, automate event reminders, and record attendance data. Here we'll walk you though how to organize successful events on the platform.

Create an event

To create an event, you'll have to give the event a title, select an event type, and set the event start and end times. The event type (in-person or virtual) can not be changed later.

Event Type

There are two types of events that you can select on the create event screen:

In-Person: Requires a physical address on a map, and an optional location name (eg. LA City Hall).

Virtual: Requires a URL where the virtual meeting will take place.

Event Sessions

Show RSVP Bar?

If enabled, an RSVP bar is shown in the profile for every invited user both within the dashboard and the Solidarity Tech mobile app.

Selected Yes/No/Maybe options for a RSVP bar will automatically send the optional automated confirmation email and will give the Team Member the option to send any optionally configured follow-up texts. Marking a Person as a yes this way is equivalent to the Person RSVPing themselves via an event page.

Show Session Title on Event Page

By default, an event page will display the session start time alongside a checkbox for RSVPing to the event session. If you have multiple sessions, and want to include the session title alongside the time on the event page form, enable this option

Recurring Events

All created events are by default one-time only events. You can create a recurring event schedule and never worry again about re-creating daily, weekly, or monthly events. To configure this, click the "Add Session" button and select "Make Recurring Session."

Invited

The Invited tab let's to use a filter to determine which People will have RSVP bars included alongside their profile. Anyone can RSVP to an event via a public event page, whether they are included under the "Invited" filter or not. By default, all People within the selected Scope are invited to the event.

Event Page

Event pages allow anyone to RSVP to event sessions directly from your website. These pages can be created from the Pages tab, or directly from the Event Calendar tab in the Event dashboard with the "Create Event Page" button. Public event pages are a critical piece of mobilizing for any public event. Just like any Page with a form, you can configure any other form fields that

Outreach tasks

You can create outreach tasks - phonebanks and textbanks - related to your event. When an outreach task is attached to an event, the outreach tasks inherits the Invited filter of the event, so only invited People can be targeted through the outreach task.

Event Settings

The event settings allow you to update the Scope of the event, which will in turn affect who can be included in the "Invited" filter.

You can also update the event's supported languages from settings. Adding more supported languages allows you to customize the Automations for each language you choose to support.
