Once you’re logged into the dashboard, Click the “Club / 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 event booking. You’ll need a list of dates, 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 Generic Event and set our slot type. This is what will display to parents in the app and depends on the event. I’m going to create booking for a school show, so I’ll select tickets. The Open/Close Dates for Bookings are the dates parents will be able to book between on the app. 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.
In the Sessions section, we can add in our event dates, setting the Title, Date, start/end times as well as maximum booking capacity. You can add as many of these as you like. 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.
Next, you can set the booking Limit. This will only allow the specified number of bookings per Parent or Student.
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.
