You have a wide array of options for scheduling your contacts for Events.
Manually:
Use Quick Look Up to find a record. Once you've clicked through to their record, add the event to their Upcoming Events or Past Events page section. Use Quick Mark to schedule several people, one at a time, for the same event.
Bulk Upload:
You can use the Bulk Upload Wizard to schedule groups of people for events at once.
From a Script:
You can add Calendar Events to Scripts so that people can be scheduled for events through canvassing or phonebank outreach.
Data Entry Forms:
You can use a Data Entry Form when creating new contact records and scheduling those contacts for an event at the same time. Events can be added to these forms.
Online Actions forms:
You can publish an Event Signup form or track activity from a supporter's Hosted Event.
Updating a person's attendance status from scheduled, to confirmed, completed or no show, for example, can be done through the methods listed above, or via the Event Participants List page.
It's generally a good idea to record Contact History along with Event Status changes, but this is optional.
Zoom Integration
If you are creating Online Events using Zoom, you can use our add-on Zoom integration which will automatically synch your registered attendees with your participant list
