Upload Event Image

You can upload a cover image for the event that will be displayed in the announcement message and in the event lists. For best results, use an image with 16:9 aspect ratio (recommended dimensions 600x338).

Registration Settings

If guests are allowed to register for your event, you can configure the settings here. For a more in-depth guide to these settings, see Event Registration.

Designate Channels and Public Visibility

In this panel, you'll also select which Slack channels you want the event to be published to. You may select up to 10 channels.

You may also choose to make the event publicly shared on the companion site. The event will appear in the Events list as well as on the Feed page for any Feeds that are connected to your selected Slack channels. Here is an example event on the companion site:

Save Draft and Preview

When you have completed the event information, press the "Save and Preview". A draft of your event will automatically be saved, and it is safe to close the modal.

Submitting from Draft Preview

You'll also have the option to submit your event at this time, if you choose. Admins will have the option to immediately publish the event, and champions will have the option to submit the event for admin approval.

Save For Later

You can always come back to work on this event later if you exit the modal. Once you are ready to publish your event, open the Events panel and navigate to My Drafts. On the overflow menu, you'll see the option to submit your event.

• If you are an admin, you'll see the option to "Publish Event".
• If you are a champion, you will see a "Submit for Approval" option.

Approve Event (Admin Only)

If you are a champion, you will first need your event approved before it is published. Once approved, the event will be published to the channels you selected.

If you are an admin, you will see the events awaiting approval under the "Needs Approval" dropdown selection. If you go to the overflow menu, you can approve the event which will publish it immediately.

You will also receive notifications for the approval requests in your Tightknit Hub channel, from which you can directly approve and publish the event, edit the event, or DM the event creator for clarifications.
