Qbit

Creating and managing events

Add events on a calendar, publish them, and keep them current.

Add your events once and Qbit keeps them organized on a calendar - and keeps the list on your pages current automatically. Events are included with Premium and Team plans.

Create an event

  1. Go to Events - you land on the calendar view.
  2. Click any day (or New Event) to open the quick-create dialog: name, date and start/end time, an optional image, a repeat setting (see Recurring events), and a Publish immediately switch.
  3. Click Create - you land on the event's page to keep filling in details: description, location, a ticket link, or an RSVP form.

Times are always in your organization's timezone, so "7:00 PM" means 7 PM at your venue no matter where you (or your visitors) are.

Already keep your schedule in Google Calendar, Apple iCloud, or Outlook? Click Import from calendar to bring those events in and keep them updated. See Importing events from your calendar.

Calendar or list - your choice

The Calendar / List toggle switches between two views of the same events:

  • Calendar (the default): month, week, and day views. Drag an event to reschedule it, or drag its edge to change the duration. Click an event for a quick summary with publish, duplicate, and edit actions.

  • List: a sortable table with search, filters, and bulk actions - best for cleaning up many events at once.

Draft vs. published

Every event is either a Draft (visible only to you) or Published (eligible to show on your pages). Publish and unpublish anytime - from the event's page, the calendar's quick summary, or the list's row menu. Only published, upcoming events ever appear to visitors.

The details that make it shine

  • Featured image - shows on your page's event cards. Add one in the quick-create dialog or on the event page.
  • Location - pick a saved location or create one inline; visitors can see the venue name and address.
  • Duplicate - the fastest way to create a similar event. It copies everything and defaults the date to a week later.
  • Have a flyer? Click Have a flyer or post? Upload or paste it to autofill on the create page - drop in the flyer image (or a screenshot of the post), or paste its text - and Qbit extracts the name, time, venue, and details for you to review before saving.
