How to create an Event page with fixed dates

Set up an Event page for a workshop, seminar or webinar: add specific dates, set seats per date, add a cover image, and see how registration works for your invitees.

Written by Fernando Figueiredo

An Event page is a group scheduling page on fixed dates. You save the exact dates, and invitees register for one of them. There is no calendar and no weekly availability. It is ideal for workshops, seminars, webinars and similar sessions.

Event pages are created as a group page, so they are available on plans that include Group events.


Event or Group events: which should you choose?

  • Event (Set dates, multiple invitees): you add specific dates, such as a workshop on 12 and 19 November. Invitees see only those dates and register for one.

  • Group events (Every week, multiple invitees): your weekly availability decides when sessions can be booked, like a regular scheduling page. See Hosting group events with multiple invitees.


How to create an Event page

  1. Open your scheduling pages in the dashboard and click Create new.

  2. Choose Event.

  3. Enter a Scheduling page name, fill in the remaining fields of the dialog and finish creating the page.

  4. The new page opens on Base Settings. Here you add a description, set the link, add a cover image, and set how many seats each date has. The other sections are in the left menu: Hosts, Dates, Questions, Payment, Advanced, Notifications and Workflows.


How to add dates

An Event page has a Dates section where other pages have Availability. Invitees can only register for dates you add here.

  1. Open your Event page and select Dates in the left menu.

  2. Click Add first date. For later dates, click Add date.

  3. Pick one or more days in the calendar. Picking several days creates one date for each day, all with the same times.

  4. Under When does it take place?, set the start and end time. The end time must be after the start time.

  5. Check the Time zone. Every date on the page uses this time zone, and changing it changes it for the whole page.

  6. Under Seats per date, set how many people can register for each date. It starts at the number from the page's Base Settings. A different number stays on that date when you later change the page's seats.

  7. Click Save.

A new date starts with times already filled in, so you can save straight away. Your first date is set for today from the next full hour, for two hours. Later dates start a week after your last date, at the same times.


How to manage your dates

The Dates section lists your upcoming dates with the times and the seats taken, for example 3/10 seats. A date with no seats left is marked Full. Past dates are folded away under a line such as 2 past dates. Click it to show them.

  • Change a date: click the More actions menu on the date and choose Change date or time.

  • Remove a date: open the same menu and choose Remove.

  • A date with registrations: you can't change or remove it here. The menu offers Open instead, which opens that date's booking with the people registered, so you can move or cancel it there and your invitees are told.


Cover image and page colour

In Base Settings, the Cover image appears at the top of your public Event page and in link previews.

  1. Click Upload image and choose a JPG, PNG, WebP or AVIF file.

  2. In Adjust crop, drag the image to move it and use the Zoom slider. The cover is cut at 16:9.

  3. Choose a page colour. Under From the cover image you can pick one of the colours Zeeg finds in your cover.

The photo must be at least 640 × 360 pixels and no larger than 10 MB. If it is too small, you see "That photo is too small. Use one that is at least 640 x 360 pixels."


Price, registration deadline and preview

  • Payment: if you charge for the event, the Payment section shows Price per seat. The price applies to every date.

  • Registration deadline: on the Advanced tab, this setting decides how long before a date starts registration closes. On Event pages it takes the place of Minimum booking notice. Some other options that only make sense for a weekly calendar are hidden on Event pages.

  • Preview: use the Preview button at the top of the settings to see the public page. Switch between Phone and Desktop, and click the close button when you're done.


What invitees see

The public Event page shows your cover, the description and the dates. Next to it is a Registration panel.

  • With several dates, invitees choose one under Pick a date. The panel shows how many seats are left.

  • They fill in their details and click Register. On a paid page, they click Continue to payment first.

  • After registering, the panel confirms with "You're in", followed by their first name, and shows the date, the location and the seats. A confirmation is also sent by email.

  • A date with no seats left reads Fully booked. A date past its registration deadline reads Registration closed.

  • If your location is a custom link, invitees see "You'll get the link after you register".


How to delete an Event page

Delete the page from your scheduling pages as you would any other. If people have registered for upcoming dates, Zeeg asks Upcoming dates have registrations and gives you two choices:

  • Cancel dates: cancels the upcoming dates and emails everyone registered.

  • Keep dates: keeps the dates so they still take place.


Frequently asked questions

Can I use my weekly availability on an Event page?

No. An Event page only offers the dates you add under Dates. If you want sessions to follow your weekly availability, create a Group events page instead.

Can different dates have different numbers of seats?

Yes. Set Seats per date when you add or change a date. A date keeps its own number even when you change the page's seats later.

Why can't I change or remove a date?

Once someone has registered for a date, you manage it from its booking. Choose Open in the date's menu. This way the people registered are told about any change.

Do all dates use the same time zone?

Yes. Every date on the page uses the time zone shown in the Add date dialog.

Where do I find a date's registrations?

Each date is a booking in your dashboard. Open the date from the Dates section, or use Edit event in the booking's menu to return to the page's dates.
