You will need to create a group before creating an event for the first time on Peatix.



What is a group?


We understand that groups, communities and even fan clubs form organically when people come together for shared experiences at events on Peatix. Interactions within these circles may happen before, or long after, an event. With groups, it is our hope that we can facilitate these interactions more seamlessly. Create your group based on the contents of the events and the attendees.



Creating your group


1. Get started by creating a new Peatix account, or using your Facebook, Twitter, Google or Apple account to log in.

* If you already have a group, you can immediately create a new event in the same group.


2. Click "Let's begin!" to start creating your group. 



3.The Create a Group page is shown.

On your group page you can: 

  • add a logo (size: 400 × 400px / format: JPEG, PNG, GIF)
  • add a cover image (size: 1440 x 360 / 1280 x 320 / 960 x 240px / format: JPEG, PNG, GIF)
  • add a Vimeo or YouTube video
  • add a group description (try to be descriptive to encourage people to join your group)
  • set a custom URL to your group page (an underscore " _ " , slash " / ", and dot " . " cannot be used in your custom URL)



Click "Create Group!" to create your group.


* If you are asked to verify your account email address, please follow the steps described on the following help page: How can I verify my account email address? 


* Peatix users can become followers of your group from the event page, or when ordering tickets to your event. Followers will receive notification emails when you publish a new event, and your events will be displayed in the recommended event list in the Peatix app.


* It is possible to create multiple groups in your account, and you will be able to host events in each group.


How to create an event


Once your group is created, click “Start event / group” near the page top, “Create Event” on the top right corner, or “Create new event” in “Upcoming Events” to start creating an event.

* If you wish to create an event for an existing group, log into your Peatix account, and click on your account name in the upper right corner to access "My Groups / Events". Click the “Create event” button for the group you wish to create an event.



1. Basics



Event Name


Start by entering an event name.


Event Type


If you are going to hold a Peatix Live event, select "Online event" under "Event Type". This will automatically create the Watch Stream page, which can only be accessed by ticket buyers who have ordered tickets for your event (this page cannot be disabled).

 

Event start time and end time


Set your event start time and end time. Please note that the date and time cannot be changed after the event has been published.


* Peatix Live events have a maximum event duration of 6 hours.


Country


To change the country of the event, click the country name under the event start time and select a country from the drop-down menu. Please note that you will not be able to change the country after publishing the event. The currency of the ticket will automatically be set based on the country of the event. Please make sure that you will be able to receive ticket sales. 


2. Online

 

On the Online page, you will be entering information that will be shared with attendees onthe Watch Stream page.

Start off by selecting “Built-in Peatix Live” (second from the left) as your streaming method. The following page opens:

 



Live event settings


Enable event replays


By default, the event replays are enabled (i.e., the box for “Enable event replays” is checked). Attendees will be able to watch the replay on the Watch Stream page after the end of the live broadcast. For more information, please see How to use the event replay function on Peatix Live.


To disable event replays, uncheck the box for “Enable event replays”.


Enable live chat

Your event instructions (up to 2,000 characters) are a mandatory field on the Online page and will be shown under the "Event instructions from the organizer" section on the Watch Stream page. You can share the details about the event, such as the event program, whether or not there will be an event replay, and other relevant information (e.g., your contact information).

 

You can edit the event instructions even after publishing the event. If you have not decided on the details about your event upon publishing the event page, please let the attendees know by sharing that in the event instructions. 

 

If you wish to email the details about the event to attendees (instead of sharing through the event instructions), please let the attendees know about your plan by writing it in the event instructions. We recommend that you also indicate the time and date you are planning to send the email in the event instructions.

 


If you are going to use music in your Peatix Live event, you will first need to check whether the music is copyrighted or not.


* For a Peatix Live event held in Japan: If there will be copyrighted music in your event, you will be required to complete and submit the copyright declaration form for the music used in this event no later than 24 hours after the event.
