Events

With the Event app, you create and publish meeting and activity posts for Talk employees. All event posts include an Attend button. Users click Attend if they plan to participate in the event. The event is then added to the user's calendar.

Create events to include information about where the event will be (online, physical location), start and end times, and specify who can see the event (everyone or certain groups). Publish an event now or schedule it to be posted later. After an event is published, view its status including which users plan to attend.

  • You add and manage events from the Content > Event page of the Talk Admin Dashboard and the Apps page of the Talk web console.
  • From the Talk web console, you can pin event posts to the top of the feed to help ensure users see and react to the event.
  • The Event app must be deployed before you can create events.

You create events in the Talk Admin dashboard or the Talk console.
