How to manage events on Run

Run provides an events feature that allows you create events and collect RSVPs. Each individual event page has a form inside it that can be edited and used like all other forms on the site.

Most of the structural issues around how events are managed are the same as the other types of posts and are covered in this doc.

The Events List block is where lists of events are displayed (and managed).

The remainder of this document covers details not in the docs linked above.

Event form submission

Note this section is only relevant to Run internal events and Google Calendar, not Mobilize and Nationbuilder where link out your event to their external RSVP form.

Currently the Run event form is shared between all events. Any update to the event form will affect all other events forms simultaneously.

Submissions to event RSVP forms get automatically saved to your Form Submissions page, like all other form submissions.

When connected to an external form integration, events create "people" records on the integration side, and do not connect directly to any actual event features there.

Run's event form also adds the event date and name to the form builder (as a hidden field) automatically. This data automatically passes through to a Google Sheets or email integration, but can be actively linked to custom fields on other integrations as well. By sending that data over to your integration, you can sort and filter users on your CRM / database that have RSVPed to particular events.

Event integrations

With event integrations, you can pull events in from an external source versus managing them directly on your Run CMS. Our Events List block now allows pulling multiple event integration sources into a single calendar on your Run site.

Here are the integrations we currently provide:
