Creating events

Creating an event in the Closer Platform is a simple, guided process. Click the "Create Event" button (usually found on the top-right of the Events page or in your Admin Dashboard) to launch the multi-step event creation flow.

Step 1: General Tab

In this initial step, you will:

• Enter the Event Title: For example, "Tree Planting Weekend" or "Harmonia Spring Gathering".

• Provide a Detailed Description: Use a rich-text editor to explain the agenda, objectives, or any special notes.

• Set Virtual Options: Toggle whether the event is virtual. If so, additional fields (e.g., YouTube Recording URL) will appear.

• Configure Booking Calendar Blocking: Choose whether this event should block the Booking Calendar from accepting other bookings during its timeframe.

• Enter Event Location: Provide a physical address if the event is in-person, or indicate if it’s exclusively virtual.

• Set Visibility: Choose from Public, Custom (e.g., for select groups), Private, or Secret.

• Define the Event Slug: Create a unique URL identifier (e.g., harmonia-spring-2025).

After filling in the General tab, click Next to move to ticket settings, or Save to retain the current information.

Step 2: Tickets Tab

Here you set up the ticketing options:

• Ticket Types: Define different ticket options like General Admission, VIP, or Volunteer Ticket.

• Pricing and Quantities: Set a price (fiat or token-based) and a maximum number of tickets for each type.

• Discounts and Early-bird Options: Optionally provide discount codes or automatic discounts for specific groups.

• Day Tickets vs. Full Event Passes: For multi-day events, you can designate tickets for single days or the full event.

After configuring ticketing, proceed to the next tab if available or save your progress.

Step 3: Advanced Tab

In this final step:

• Set Event Date & Time: Specify the start and end date/time, which automatically categorizes the event as upcoming or past.

• Additional Fields: Optionally enter a Participation Guide URL, event capacity, and any special partner or volunteer details.

• Media Upload: Add a banner image or other visuals to represent the event.

• Publish Options: Choose to publish immediately or schedule a future time for the event to go live.

Once complete, click Publish (or Save) to finalize your new event.
