Accessing Events
Use the global shortcut /events to open to the Events modal. The shortcut option will appear as you type /events into the search bar or any conversation message.
Alternatively, users can access the modal by clicking the Events button in the Tightknit app home under the Events module.
For non-admin users, the Events List modal displays all events published to any channel in the workspace.
Events List Panel
To see your community’s upcoming events within a Slack workspace, any user in the workspace may use the global shortcut to show events to all users within a workspace.
The easiest way to access this shortcut is to type /events in any message input box.
This will display a list of all public events that are currently scheduled.
Views
From this panel, members can select a view to filter the listed events depending on their permissions.
| Filter | Standard User | Events Champion | Admin |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upcoming | Public upcoming events | Public upcoming events + unlisted events owned by the user | All upcoming events (public and unlisted) |
| Past | Public past events | Public past events + unlisted events owned by the user | All past events (public and unlisted) |
| My Drafts | — | Events owned by the user in draft state | Events owned by the user in draft state |
| Needs Approval | — | Events owned by the user awaiting admin approval | All events awaiting admin approval |
Actions
From the panel, admin users and designated events champion users can:
- Create new event drafts
- Publish events, or request admin approval for events
- Edit and delete events
Events Champions may only edit an event if they are the owner or were marked as the Host of the event.
