Events
Give your event a chat space
Open a group chat for the people registered for an event, so they can connect before, during and after.
You'll end up with a chat room attached to your event. Everyone with a confirmed registration can talk with you and with each other.
When to use this
- A retreat or program where people benefit from meeting before they arrive.
- A course-like series where people share progress between sessions.
- Q&A and integration after a workshop.
Steps
Open the Chat Space tab
Go to Offerings → Events, open the event and click Chat Space.
Enable it
Click Enable Chat Space. It creates "a dedicated chat space for this event where attendees can connect, discuss, and engage with each other before, during, and after it."
Post a welcome
The chat opens in the tab. Post the first message: a welcome, a question to get people talking, or the practical details.
Tips
- Start the conversation yourself. An empty room stays quiet. A prompt like "Share one intention you're bringing" gets people going.
- Let people know it's there. Mention it in a blast after they register.
- Pre-event prep, post-event recap. Use the chat for questions before and for sharing reflections after.
- Need a space that isn't tied to one event? Create a standalone chat space instead, for example for an ongoing group.
What your members see
Once their registration is Confirmed, the chat appears under Event chat on their ticket page (View Ticket on the event page), and they can post right away. People who haven't registered, or who cancelled, don't see it.
