Once you’re logged into the dashboard, Click the “Clubs/Events” option on the left-hand side of the page. Let’s start from scratch, click the Create Event button to begin creating your next club booking. You’ll need a list of sessions, times, capacities, and prices handy for this.
The Event builder is conveniently split into 3 sections, Information, Booking Preferences and Sessions. The first step is where we will fill in some basic event information such as the Title and Description that will display to parents in the app. Next, we should set the type of event to Club and set our start and end dates. These will be the dates our club will run between, this could be the first and last days of half term, for example. The system will automatically work out the dates for each session in this range. The Open Date for Bookings is the date parents will be able to book from. Finally, you can include an address the club takes place at and a URL link to google maps, for example.
The Preferences section allows us to target our event, only the parents you target here will be able to view the form and make bookings. I’m just going to select all parents here, as this will be a school wide club.
The Sessions section allows us to setup each bookable session, we can set a title, day of the week, start/end times as well as a maximum capacity. You can add as many sessions as you’d like. I’m going to create a few sessions throughout the week. If the club is chargeable, you can toggle the paid event option to yes, and set the price as well as providing a payment URL parents will be redirected to after booking.
Once you are happy with event, click the save button to save and publish the event.
The final step is to alert your parents, click into the messages tab on the left-hand side of your dashboard, then click compose message in the top right corner. Input your message title and content, then in the Message Link section select “Link to app section/content” then “Clubs”. You can now target or schedule your message as normal and send when you are ready.
