For events of a group

How it works

An event, start to finish.

An event belongs to a place or a group. It shows up for people nearby once you publish it.

1

Pick the place or group

Choose where it happens and who hosts it.

2

Set the time

Date, start and end, and a few lines on what to expect. Add a cover photo if you have one.

3

Publish

People nearby can see it and say I'm in, and the event keeps count.

4

On the day

It gets a Today tag with its start time, so it stands out in What's on. Once it is over, it drops out of the feed.

A Tuesday, as an example

How a run club might use it.

Imagine a run group that meets on Tuesday at the canal. Whoever leads that week adds the date with the meeting point and the pace. By Tuesday afternoon the count of I'm in shows whether it is four runners or fourteen. If a run has a limit on places, the waiting list will queue the next people once it is available, and the one at the front gets the place when somebody drops out.

This is an illustration, not a result.

From a desk

Plan ahead from a laptop.

You can add and publish events in the app and in the web console. The console helps when you plan a whole month at a desk and want a keyboard.

Where this is going

Not there yet, on our list.

Some of these may not be available yet. We list them so you know the direction, and we are not putting a date on any of them.

Coming

Events that repeat

The Tuesday run, entered once for the whole season. People see the next run coming up, and last week's is gone.

Coming

A waiting list

When an event is full, the next person in line gets the seat that frees up, and you do not have to juggle messages.

Coming

A link and a QR code

One link for your window, your poster and your newsletter. It opens the event in the app, and anyone without the app sees a short preview.

Coming

Word when plans change

If you move or cancel an event, everyone who said I'm in is told, so nobody stands outside a closed door.

Before you plan around it

What snakken does not do for your event.

No tickets, no payments

If you sell tickets, carry on with the shop you use now. Payments are not part of snakken, and we have not decided whether or how they would be.

No paid reach

Nearer and newer events sit higher. An event reaches the people around it, and nobody can pay to reach people further away or to pick who sees it.

No customer lists

You get a number for each event. Who is behind it, and how to reach them, stays private.

Questions from people who run events.

Who can add an event to a group?

Any member. The person who starts the group owns it and can hand it over later.

Can people share the event?

Not from the app yet. Sharing by link is on our list further up this page.

Where does my event show up?

In the feed of people in the area around it, and under What's on in the week it happens.

Do I need a place to host an event?

You need one or the other, a place or a group. A market on a square can be a place of its own, and a regular run usually belongs to a group.

Can I sell tickets through snakken?

No. An I'm in only says someone plans to come, so keep your ticket shop where it is.

What does it cost?

We have not settled on pricing, so there is no price list yet. If you are budgeting for a season of events, write and we will tell you what we know.
