Edit a Staff Event

Steps:

  3. Select an event to edit.
    • Table headers directly correlate to the Airtable form.
  4. Staff Form Entry Link and Organizing Entry Link allow editing in the form view as opposed to the table view
    • Note: Editing in form view creates a duplicate table entry. This is not preferred.
  5. For series events, you can duplicate the line.
    • Change the date.
    • Change the name to the series formatting.
  6. To sync to Google Calendar:
    • Delete “Google Cal Event ID.”
    • Uncheck “Google Cal Event Created.”
    • Note: This is a one-way sync. If you delete an event from Airtable it is not deleted from Google Calendar, but edits will be carried over.
  7. When you create the event, if the “Add to MoHA Discord” box is checked, an automation runs every morning to add it to the Discord.
