Summary
After completing this how-to you will have all the information you need to create a New Event Draft in Brickwork. This is the first step in creating a new event in the Brickwork platform. After this step, you can preview your event and publish it to your stores.
As a Store Manager, you can access store-specific events by navigating to the store page first, and then going to Events > New Event in the header:
Fill out all the information required for the event.
- Title
- Select if the event is Public or Private - Private events can be password protected in order for guests to RSVP.
- Event occurs during business hours
- When selected, the event will show as during business hours. This is great when hosting an event at several stores. If a Soho location is open from 10am-5pm and an Upper East Side location is open from 12pm-5pm, the event will occur during each respective store's hours.
- Start date/time and End date/time
- Pick the day and time of your event. If "event occurs during business hours" is selected, you will not need to select a time. Selecting the same date for both the start and end date will apply the event to that day only.
- Description
- Collect RSVP
- Check this box if you would like to collect RSVPs for this event. We highly recommend you do! This is a great way to get insight into the attendee size & to collect customer emails.
- Max attendees must be set if you collect RSVPs
- Promo code - If the event includes a sale or a discount, you can apply the promo code here.
- Legal information
- Check this box if you would like to collect RSVPs for this event. We highly recommend you do! This is a great way to get insight into the attendee size & to collect customer emails.
- Image - We suggest using an event image for all events. Images help with SEO value and they make the event more interesting for customers.
- Hashtags - Add Social hashtags for impact! When a customer shares this event on Twitter or Facebook, these hashtags will be searchable.
- Publish date - Add a publish date and time so that this event automatically publishes at a later date if you do not want to do so immediately.
When all of the above steps have been completed, create your event! If the publish date is set to a time in the future, this will create a draft of your event that you can then preview before publishing.
Your Event is Still a Draft
After your draft is created, you can Preview the event, Edit it to make any changes, Publish it, or Cancel it after it has been Published.
