Events
View, RSVP to, and create events to keep your organization's calendar organized.
The Events section in fellos helps your organization stay coordinated. Whether it is a monthly meeting, an annual fundraiser, or a casual get-together, events keep everyone on the same page about what is happening, when, and where.
Calendar View
The default view for events is a monthly calendar. Each day that has one or more events shows colored dots indicating the events scheduled for that day. Events are color-coded by category, so you can quickly see what types of events are coming up.
To navigate the calendar:
- Use the left and right arrows to move between months.
- Click Today to jump back to the current month.
- Click any day with event dots to see the events scheduled for that day.
- Click any individual event to see its full details.
List View
Click the List tab to switch to a chronological list of all upcoming events. This view is easier to scan quickly and shows more detail at a glance than the calendar view.
Each event in the list shows the date, title, time, location, and the number of attendees who have RSVP'd. Events in the past are hidden by default but can be shown by scrolling to the bottom and clicking "Show past events."
My Events
The My Events tab filters the list to show only events you have created or RSVP'd to. This is a quick way to see what is on your personal calendar without wading through all the organization's events.
Viewing Event Details
Click any event to see its full details. The event detail page includes:
- Title — The name of the event.
- Description — A full description of what the event is about, what to bring, and any other relevant information.
- Date and time — Start date, start time, and optionally an end time.
- Location — The venue name and address. If an address is provided, it includes a clickable link to open the location in your preferred maps app.
- Hosted by — The chapter or group hosting the event.
- Contact person — Who to reach out to with questions.
- Category — The event type (meeting, social, volunteer, fundraiser, etc.).
- Attendees — A list of members who have RSVP'd, broken down by Going, Not Going, and Tentative.
RSVP
When you view an event, you will see RSVP buttons that let you indicate your plans:
- Click Going if you plan to attend. Your name will appear in the attendee list.
- Click Not Going if you cannot make it. This helps organizers plan.
- Click Tentative if you are not sure yet. You can change your RSVP at any time before the event.
Your RSVP is highlighted so you can always see your current status. To change it, simply click a different button.
Events you have RSVP'd "Going" to will also appear in your activity feed as reminders as the date approaches. You can also find them quickly in the My Events tab.
Creating an Event
If your member type has event creation permission, you will see a + New button on the events page. Creating an event is straightforward:
- Click + New to open the event creation form.
- Enter a title for the event.
- Write a description with all the details attendees need to know.
- Set the date and time — start date, start time, and optionally an end time.
- Add location details — venue name and address. The address will be automatically linked to maps.
- Choose a category from the options your admin has configured (meeting, social, volunteer, etc.).
- Set the guest policy — whether attendees can bring guests and, if so, how many.
- Click Create Event to publish it.
Events are visible to all members who have access to the Events section. Your admin controls which member types can see and create events. If you do not see the + New button, event creation may not be enabled for your member type.
Guest Options
Some events allow attendees to bring guests. When guests are enabled for an event:
- After you RSVP as "Going," you will see a guest count field where you can specify how many guests you are bringing.
- The maximum number of guests per member is set by the event creator.
- Guest counts are included in the total attendee numbers so organizers can plan accordingly.
- You can update your guest count at any time before the event.
Remember to update your RSVP if your plans change. Organizers rely on accurate headcounts for venue reservations, food orders, and other logistics. It only takes a moment to change your status.
