Events

Create an event, say you are going, be reminded, share it, and run it as the host.

Finding events

In the Market, tap Events. Choose Today, This weekend or Next 7 days.
On the Map, tap Events to see them as purple pins.

Your events

In the Market, tap ★ For You. Your events is the first thing on it: everything you have said you are Going to or Interested in, soonest first. Tap one to open it.

It is only there when you have something coming up, and it holds only your own answers — nobody else can see it.

Going

On an event, tap Going or Interested. Tap your choice again to clear it.

When you are Going:

you can read the host's Note for people who are going;
you can open the event chat. See "Event chat".

Tap the event to see everything, and Show on map to open the place in your phone's maps app.

Being reminded

When you are Going or Interested, the event shows Remind me and how long before it starts you will be told — 1 day before (your default) until you change it.

Tap Change to pick 1 week, 1 day, 2 hours, 1 hour or 30 minutes before. You can tick more than one.
Tick nothing to get no reminder for this event.
Tap Use my default to hand it back to your usual choice.

To change your usual choice for every event, see "Notifications".

Reminders come as alerts on your phone, with your Marketplace alerts, so they stop if you switch those off. You are never reminded about an event that was cancelled or has ended, and never about a time that had already passed when you said you were coming.

Telling someone about it

Open the event and tap Share. Your phone's usual share sheet opens with the event's name, when it is, where it is, and a link. On a computer, the link is copied for you to paste.

Anyone who taps that link opens the event — in the app if they have it, in the web app otherwise. Someone who is not in your community lands on its join page. In a web browser, the global community shows them the event first, as a visitor sees it, and opens it again once they have joined.

Putting it in your calendar

Open the event and tap Add to calendar.

On the web app, a calendar file downloads. Open it and your calendar offers to add the event.
On an iPhone, the same file is handed to your phone, which offers Add to Calendar.
On Android, Google Calendar opens with the event already filled in. Check it and save.

The entry carries the name, the time, the place and the link back to the event. If the host later changes the time, your calendar does not change with it — the app will still remind you, and the event itself always shows the new time.

Creating an event

Tap + ADD POST on the Market tab or the Map, then Event.
Title, and when it Starts. Ends is optional; it is 2 hours later unless you change it.
Place name, like "Town hall".
Put the pin on the map: tap the map, search Find an address, or tap Use my location. Tap Approximate (~100 m) if you do not want the exact spot shown. See "Where your pin goes".
A Description, and a photo if you like.
Note for people who are going: only they will see it. A good place for the exact address or a gate code.
Who can see it: your whole community, or one group.
If you keep an enterprise or look after a group, Post as lets you post the event in its name. A group hosts for its own members only; an enterprise hosts for the whole community, so an enterprise event is never group-only.
Tap Create. Your event is in the Market and on the Map.

Running your event

Open your event. As the host you can:

see Who's going;
Edit event. If you change the time or the place, everyone going is told;
Copy to a new date, to run it again;
Cancel event, then Cancel event again to confirm. Everyone going can see it is cancelled, and its chat becomes read-only.

The same guide is in the BeanPool app, and works there without a connection: open Settings, then "Help & how it works" under BeanPool. Every other rule, guide and manual is in the Help Centre. Guide version 112.
