How Do I Create An Event?

To create an event on the new interface you now need to head to the ''Campaigns'' tab and create a campaign.

The events section which was previously located in account settings has been replaced with the new and improved ''Campaigns'' section. The campaigns section can be found in the main navigation bar at the top of your account.

With our updates to the GivePanel interface, to create an event, you now need to head to the ''Campaigns'' tab in the main navigation at the top of your account and select ''Campaigns'' from the drop-down.

Once in the campaigns section, you will want to click on ''New Campaign'' in the top right of the page and then select the type of campaign you want to create.

Creating a campaign will enable you to create the event, the data capture form, fundraiser creation link and email journeys in one go. There are three different sorts of campaigns you can create.

If you only want to create an event value that can be applied to fundraiser records for reporting purposes, e.g. you don't want to create an event registration form or custom fundraiser link, you can do this too by creating a ''Non-GivePanel Event'' Campaign, adding the details to the first page and then skipping through the rest of the set up.

On the first page, the only details you will need to add in are:

  • Campaign Title (aka, the event name) - this is what will appear in the event drop-down when on a fundraiser record manually applying an event to a fundraiser record.

  • An event start and end date

  • A description (which is for internal reference only) and then skipping through the rest of the campaign set up pages by clicking on either ''Skip'' or ''Save and continue''.

If you're looking to set up an entire campaign, such as a Facebook Challenge (where you will want to set up a data capture form, fundraiser link, and email journey, you can find more information on how to do so here.)
