Adding a Withfriends Event

From MoHA Wiki


Purpose:

After the Staff Event is submitted through Airtable, create a Withfriends link for ticketed events. All ticketed events need a Withfriends link. Use a Withfriends link to:

  • Create tickets
  • Distribute tickets
  • Set ticket prices

Steps:

  1. First, submit the Staff Event first through Airtable.
    • Note: Later you’ll need to plug the Withfriends link back into the Airtable.
  2. Go to: [1].
  3. Log in.
  4. Select My Dashboard.
  5. Select Events.
  6. Select Add Event.

Fill in the following:

  1. Event Name
  2. Location
    • This autofills to MoHA. You can change it to “online” or add a different location.
  3. Cover Photo
    • Needs to be 720x377 px.
    • If you need to reformat, use the staff login for [Canva.com Canva]. Use the “Withfriends Default Size” banner (1440x754px).
  4. Description
    • Grab from the events database. Use the the long description.
    • Delete redundant descriptions.
      • Ex. “This is at MoHA”
  5. Tickets
    • Match to the information entered in Airtable.
      • Free
      • Suggested Donation
        • Enter suggested donation amount.
        • Sliding Scale (with minimum donation)
          • For sliding scale with a minimum, set to “Suggested Donation.”
          • Enter the max and min range of donation and select “Require minimum donation” box.
        • Sliding Scale (with no minimum donation)
      • Set Price
    • Tickets can be limited by:
      • Capacity: amount of that type sold.
      • Amount of tickets per purchase: how many can one person/transaction order.
    • Multiple types of tickets can be added, either for multiple times, dates, or tiers of tickets.
  6. Confirmation Message
    • This is a message shown only after purchase. Add information restricted only to attendees here, eg. Zoom links, surveys, secret address.

Note: For events that have multiple days of the same thing (eg. plays), put them in the same event. Otherwise, create separate events.
