Event types explained
When creating an event, you must choose an event type. The event type determines how residents interact with the event and what settings are available.
There are three event types:
Community Event
Meeting
Notice
Choosing the correct type is important, as it affects bookings, responses, and overall resident experience.
Community Event
Community Events are used for social activities and flexible event formats. They can either require a booking or allow residents to simply express interest.
Two ways residents can interact
When creating a Community Event, you can choose whether a booking is required.
Option 1: Booking required
Residents must reserve a spot to attend.
Residents book a spot
They can bring guests (if enabled)
Capacity limits can be enforced
Payments and deposits can be applied
This is best for events with limited space or structured participation.
Option 2: No booking required
Residents can respond with interest, but do not reserve a spot.
Residents select “Interested”
No capacity limits or bookings are enforced
No payments are involved
This is best for open or drop-in style events.
