Publishing Events on Your Site

What the Events addon does

Your site gets a public /events/ page that lists every event you publish. Upcoming events come first (sorted by start date); past events drop into a separate section so the page stays current without you doing anything.

Each event also gets its own page at yoursite.com/events/your-event-slug/ — shareable on social, indexable by Google, and the URL the "Tickets" button points at if you don't have an external link.

What goes in an event

• Title — what you're calling the event ("Spring Tasting Menu", "Open House", "Live Music Saturday")
• Start date + time — required. Drives the chronological sort and the upcoming/past split.
• End date + time — optional. Add it if the event spans more than a few hours so the listing shows the full window.
• Location — free text. Address, venue name, "Online", whatever your customers will look for.
• Description — markdown supported. This is the body of the event page. Add agenda, dress code, who it's for, what to bring.
• Ticket / RSVP URL — optional. Eventbrite link, your booking page, a Google Form, whatever. Becomes a "Get Tickets" button on the event page.
• Hero image — optional. Shows on both the event page and as the thumbnail in the listing.

How to publish your first event

1. Open the Events tab in your dashboard.
2. Click Add event.
3. Fill in the title, start date, location, description.
4. Save as draft if you want to preview, or save as published to push it live.
5. Click Rebuild if the public page doesn't update within a minute.

Drafts vs. published

A draft event is saved to your dashboard but does NOT appear on the public /events/ page. Useful for working on the description over several sessions, or for staging a series of events to publish all at once.

A published event is live the moment Rebuild completes (usually under 60 seconds).

When past events fall off

Past events stay on /events/ in a separate "Past events" section indefinitely — they're SEO-valuable (lots of long-tail search queries are for past events) and they show momentum. If you want to delete an old event entirely, use the delete button; otherwise we recommend leaving them.

Limits + notes

• Up to ~50 KB of description per event (~10 typical paragraphs). Long enough for a full agenda.
• Hero images and ticket URLs are optional — you can publish a bare event with just a title, date, and location if that's all you have.
• The Events addon doesn't (yet) export iCal/.ics — your subscribers can't add events to their personal calendar with one click. On our roadmap if it becomes a common ask.
• If you want event attendees on your email list, pair this with the Email List addon — visitors can subscribe from the event page.
