Add an event

  1. 1

    Open Events and press New Event

    Or press Templates to start from a ready-made one, such as Eid Prayer, Community Iftar or Youth Programme.

  2. 2

    What & When

    Type the Event name, a Short description (this goes on screens and posters) and pick the Event type. Set the start and end. Under Where is it? press Use Masjid Location, or type another venue, or add a meeting link for an online event. Press Next.

  3. 3

    Registration

    Leave Accept registrations on if people should book. Set Maximum attendees if space is limited. Turn on Manually approve registrations if you want to check each booking first. Under Registration Form Fields you can add your own questions. Press Next.

  4. 4

    Review & Publish

    Check the summary. Leave Notify in Community app on to tell your followers. Press Publish Event, or Save as Draft to finish later.

Take care

The Community app notification is only sent if you press Publish Event straight away. If you save a draft and publish it later, no notification goes out. To tell people later, add an announcement. See Add an announcement.

Which plan

On the Free plan you can have two events running at once, and drafts count. With a Masjid or Network licence there's no limit.

Where the event shows up

  • Community app: published upcoming events appear in your masjid's Events tab straight away. People can book from the app.
  • Your screens: press Add to Playlist on the event's card and choose a playlist. The event becomes a slide.
  • Booking link: on the event's page press Copy registration link and share it on WhatsApp, Facebook or your website. People book without needing an account.
  • Poster: press Make a poster on the event's page. Pick a design, then print it or download it as a picture. The QR code on it opens the booking page.

Take care

Every published event shows in the Community app, including ones set to Members only, Invite only or Private. If an event shouldn't be seen by everyone, leave it as a draft and share the details another way.

Manage bookings

  1. 1

    Open the event and choose the Registrations tab

    You see totals for confirmed, pending and waitlisted bookings, and everyone's answers.

  2. 2

    Approve or decline

    If you turned on manual approval, press Confirm registration or Decline registration on each one. The Dashboard reminds you when bookings are waiting.

  3. 3

    Download the list

    Press Export CSV for a spreadsheet you can print for the door.

When an event is full, new bookings go on a waiting list if Enable waitlist when full is on. Open a booking and press Move to confirmed to give someone a place.

Good to know

MasjidConnect doesn't email people to confirm their booking or remind them. If that matters, send a message to the list yourself, or put a reminder on your screens.

What events can't do yet

  • Paid tickets. All bookings are free. For a paid dinner, take payment another way, for example with a SumUp link.
  • Taking donations when people book. The switch is there but it does nothing yet.
  • Checking people in at the door. Use the exported list instead.
  • An events widget for your website. Share the booking link instead.
