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's a monthly meeting, an annual fundraiser, or a casual get-together, events keep everyone on the same page about what's happening, when, and where.

The top of the page has four view tabs — Calendar, List, Mine, and Tickets — plus an All Categories filter that lets you narrow the view to one category at a time.

Calendar View

The default view is a monthly calendar. Each day with one or more events shows the event titles directly on the date cell. Events are color-coded by category.

To navigate:

• Use the left and right arrows to move between months.
• Click Today to jump back to the current month.
• Click any event to open its full detail page.

List View

The List tab shows a chronological list of events. Each row shows date, title, time, location, and the attendee count. It's faster to scan than the calendar when you want to see what's on the horizon.

Mine

The Mine tab filters to events you've RSVP'd to (or created, if your member type allows event creation). It's a quick way to see your personal schedule without scanning the whole org's calendar.

Tickets

The Tickets tab lists the ticketed events you've purchased a seat for. Each row has a Ticket button that opens your QR-coded ticket. See Paid Events & Tickets below for the full purchase and check-in flow.

Viewing an Event

Click any event to open its detail page. You'll see:

• Category badge at the top (e.g., "Workshops," "Open Garden Days").
• Title and description.
• Date and time — day, date, and start/end times.
• Location — venue name and address, with a Map link that opens your preferred maps app.
• Join meeting link for events that include a video-call (Zoom) component.
• Attendance count — e.g., "20 attending (12 members + 8 guests)."
• HOSTED BY — the sub-org or chapter running the event.
• CONTACT — who to reach out to with questions.
• Created by — the member who set up the event, with a timestamp.
• Attendees — the list of RSVPs, with guest counts when someone is bringing a plus-one.

If the event has already happened, the top of the page shows a banner: "This event has already taken place," and the RSVP controls are hidden.

RSVPing

For free events, the right side of the event page shows a single I'm Going button. Click it to RSVP. Your name appears in the attendees list, and the event shows up in the Mine tab on the events page.

There's also an Add to Calendar button that downloads the event as an .ics file so you can drop it straight into Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Outlook, or whatever you use.

Guests

Some events let you bring guests. When the event allows guests, you'll see the limit near the RSVP button (e.g., "Guests allowed — max 4"). After you RSVP, you can add a guest count; guests show up on the attendee list alongside your name as "+N guests" so organizers know the real headcount.

Paid Events & Tickets

Some events are ticketed — your organization is hosting the event and selling tickets through fellos. On a paid event the right side of the detail page shows a Tickets panel instead of the I'm Going button, with:

• The sales window and remaining capacity (e.g., "Sales end 5/10/2026, 8:00 AM · 50 seats remaining").
• Your ticket line — labeled with your member-type seat (e.g., "Your ticket · Gardener Seat") and marked Required if you have to include yourself in the order.
• Guest line with the per-guest price, if the event allows guests.
• A Buy ticket button (for yourself and any guests) and a Buy for another member button (to purchase on another member's behalf).

Buying a ticket for yourself

1. Click Buy ticket on the event detail page. A Buy ticket dialog opens explaining: "Your self-seat is mandatory. Add any optional extras below."
2. Your own seat is already included at your member-type price. If guests are allowed, bump the guest count up to the per-attendee max the organizer set.
3. Check the Total attendees and Total lines, then click the Buy/checkout button to pay. Tickets are sold through the same Stripe checkout the Store uses — your card goes directly to the organization hosting the event.
4. After payment, fellos shows a "You're in!" confirmation with your ticket QR code, the party size, and an itemized receipt.

Buying for another member

The Buy for another member button is available to every member — it's not officer-only. Use it when you're covering a ticket for someone else (a spouse, a new member who hasn't set up their payment, etc.).

1. Click Buy for another member. The dialog explains: "The recipient's ticket and self-seat price are resolved from their member type." That means the price is set by whatever their member type is, not yours.
2. Pick the person in the Recipient member dropdown.
3. Click Reserve ticket and complete checkout. The ticket is issued to the recipient and they appear in the Attendees list.

Your ticket and check-in

After purchase the confirmation page shows your ticket QR code with the instruction "SHOW THIS CODE AT CHECK-IN — Your whole party enters together on this one code." One code covers everyone in your order (you plus your guests) — event staff scan it once on arrival.

You can come back to the QR at any time from the confirmation page's View ticket link, which opens a full-page EVENT TICKET view with the code, the event details, your party size (e.g., "For Jasmine · party of 2"), the itemized receipt, and a Print button if you'd rather bring it on paper.

Attendee list

After you (or anyone else) buys, the event page updates. The header shows a running count — "3 attending (2 members + 1 guests)" — and the Attendees section at the bottom lists each ticket holder with how many guests they're bringing (e.g., "Root +1 guest"). That's the source of truth for who the organizer is expecting.

Creating an Event

Any member type with event-create permission can set up events. Event creation is a member-level capability in fellos — not just for officers or admins — though your admin controls which member types have it turned on. If it isn't enabled for your type, the create controls won't appear.

When you have permission, opening the events page shows a + New / create-event control. The creation form covers:

1. Enter a title for the event.
2. Write a description — what it's about, what to bring, and any other context attendees need.
3. Set the date and time — start date, start time, and optionally an end time.
4. Add a category from the ones your admin has configured (meeting, social, workshop, open house, etc.).
5. Add location details — venue name and address. The address becomes a Map link on the detail page.
6. Optionally add a Zoom / meeting link for virtual or hybrid events.
7. Pick a host — the sub-org or chapter running the event — and a contact person for questions.
8. Set the guest policy — whether attendees can bring guests and the per-attendee max.
9. Click Create Event to publish it.

Editing or Cancelling an Event

If you created an event (or your member type is allowed to moderate other people's events), the detail page shows edit/cancel controls. Cancelling replaces the event in the calendar with a "Cancelled — Title" marker so members can still see what was on the schedule; the event is not deleted.
