SupporterBase Docs

Creating an event in SupporterBase only takes a few minutes. You can then promote it, share the sign-up page, and track RSVPs all in one place.

Part 1: Creating an event

Start a new event

From the left-hand navigation, select Events > Create New Event.

Fill in event details

Select the Supporter Group from the dropdown.
Add the event basics: title, time, date, location, description, event contact person.
Scroll to the RSVP Email section (bottom):
- Customise the confirmation email sent to supporters when they RSVP to your event.
- Keep the liquid code (the words in {curly braces}) if you want details to auto-populate.

Publish the event

Click Create Event.

Admins or group captains: the event goes live immediately on your group's public page.
Vice-captains: the event is saved as a draft and sent to your group's point person (an admin) for approval.

Edit an event (if needed)

Go to the event page and click Edit Event (under the event name).

By default, only admins and captains can edit once approved. To allow vice-captains to edit events, an admin must enable Allow group vice-captains to edit their group's events under Settings > Configurations > General.

Part 2: Promoting your event

The easiest way to promote your event is with a blast email or SMS.

Copy the URL of your event's public sign-up page (auto-generated when you publish).
Paste it into the body of your blast email or SMS.
Send. Supporters can RSVP directly via the link.

For detailed instructions, see our guide on how to send SMS and Email blasts.

Part 3: Managing RSVPs

Viewing RSVPs

Go to the event page (via Events > [Event Name]).
RSVPs appear under the event's basic information.

You can engage with each RSVP through their personal profile:

Edit profile info
Send personal SMS or email
Call directly
Log a contact

Sorting RSVPs

At the top of the RSVP list, use Sort By to order by:

First name
Last name
Location
Last contacted

Adding RSVPs manually

Supporters can RSVP in several ways:

Via the public event sign-up form
From within an email or SMS thread, or a call list (handy when confirming RSVPs during outreach)
From a supporter's personal profile using the Log Contact or RSVP button
