Run recurring events as a series

A series groups events that belong together, like a monthly food truck night or a summer concert run. Events in a series share a theme, show up grouped on your events list, and can share a photo gallery. Give the series a rhythm and it also keeps track of the next date for you. The Series tab on Events lists every series your neighborhood runs; New Series starts one.

New Series on the Series tab opens the full form: a Series Name, a description, and an optional Default Template the very first event is built from. You can also start a series without leaving an event: the Event Series field on the event form has + Create new series, which makes the series and puts this event in it in one go.

Open Schedule & automation and tick Keep this series on a schedule. Then pick the Recurrence Pattern: Weekly on a day, Monthly on a set weekday (the fourth Friday), Every other month, Quarterly, or a Custom interval on a day of the month. Limit to specific months keeps a pool or garden series to its season. Work ahead sets how many days before each date the series acts.

When the next date comes up gives two choices. Remind me to create it sends a "time to schedule the next one" notice and puts a one-click create button on the series page and your dashboard. Create it for me, as a draft copies the most recent event (details, tickets, questions, volunteer roles, activities, survey, tags, and settings) onto the next date at the same time of day. It stays a Draft until you publish it, so nothing reaches residents without you.

The Notifications section lists everyone who hears from the series: every organizer of your neighborhood, with nothing to subscribe to. Choose how: Email (or one shared address instead), App notification, and Dashboard alert. The series always tells you when a date is due and when an automatic creation failed. Draft nudge adds one more: a reminder when an event in the series is still a draft a set number of days before it starts.

Open a series to see its next expected date, its events, and any Event Creation Reminder waiting for you. Create Event for that date builds the next event: a copy of the most recent one moved onto the new date, or the default template for the first event. Dismiss clears a reminder you don't need (a month you're skipping). Create Next Event at the top does the same at any time, and Schedule & notifications below sums up the rhythm, who's told, and a Recent activity log of reminders, automatic drafts, and anything that went wrong.
