Events & RSVPs

Events are the gatherings that make Frequency real: the in-person and online meetups your Circles host. This is where showing up actually happens.

RSVPing

• Open an event to see the details and RSVP so the host knows you're coming. Not sure yet? Mark yourself Interested instead. It signals you're curious without claiming a spot.
• Bringing people? On a "going" RSVP you can add +1, +2 guests so the host has an accurate headcount.
• The event page shows who's already going (faces, the count, your guests, and anyone from your Circles) so you can see the room before you arrive.
• Changed your plans? You can update your RSVP anytime.
• When you RSVP, we email you a confirmation with the details and a one-tap calendar link (and a quick note if you land on the waitlist), then nudge you again as the date nears.
• Your upcoming events surface in your feed so they don't sneak up on you.

Capacity & waitlists

• Some gatherings have a limited group size so they stay intimate. When an event is full, you can join the waitlist.
• If someone's plans change and a spot opens up, the next person on the waitlist is moved to "going" automatically, no need to keep checking.
• You'll only ever see a "filling up" note when spots are genuinely running low. We don't do fake countdowns or pressure.

Recurring events & your calendar

• Many Circles run recurring gatherings (a weekly sit, a monthly walk), and each occurrence is its own event you can RSVP to.
• Add to calendar in one tap. Right where you RSVP, you can drop the event into Google Calendar or any app (it exports a standard calendar file). Putting it on your calendar is the single best way to actually make it.

Finding events

• Browse the events library and filter by what kind of gathering it is (ceremony, movement, learning, social, and more), by its energy (grounding vs. high-activation), or to show only events that still have open spots.
• An event with a small star is Featured: a gathering the Frequency team has highlighted.
• Set a home location on your profile and you can also filter by distance, showing only gatherings hosted within 10, 25, or 50 km of you. (We use your approximate neighborhood, never your exact address.)
• When we have a sense of what fits you, a "For You" lane suggests gatherings you'd be into, and tells you, plainly, why. If we don't have enough to go on yet, you'll just see what's soonest and nearest.
• Space pages show their upcoming events too, as a list, cards, or a little calendar. Tap one and a small window opens with the basics and the RSVP button, so you can answer right there. View full event takes you to the whole page.

Post an event you found

See a cool event poster around town, or one on Eventbrite or in a group chat? Capture it and put the event on Frequency.

• Open Capture and tap Upload a poster. Snap the whole poster, ideally squared up and out of direct glare; the app reads it and drafts the event for you: title, time, place, lineup, the works. A slight tilt or a little shine is fine, it straightens and reads the poster on its own.
• Found it online instead? Start a new event and paste the write-up you copied from an Eventbrite page, a WhatsApp group, or the event's website. Add the flyer photo too if you have one. Vera reads the text and the image together, lays out the date, place, lineup, tickets, and every link, and keeps the photo as the cover.
• If the poster has a QR code, the app reads it too and saves the booking or RSVP link straight onto the event.
• Check the draft, fix anything the poster made hard to read, and publish. Add a real start date first, or it won't show in the library (the scan sometimes misreads the year). If it's your event, you become the host. If you found it, it posts to local events with your name on it: "Posted by you" with a little Zap.
• Add the organizer's email in the draft, and when you publish as "I found this," we email them a link to claim it automatically. No email on hand? You also get a ready-to-send message and link to share yourself.
• The event page is clearly marked as community-posted, naming you and the organizer, with a "Is this your event? Claim it" button. When the organizer claims it, the event becomes theirs to run, your credit stays, and you earn a claim bonus.
• Keep it honest: events that real people RSVP to and organizers actually claim build your posting reputation. Flooding the library with events nobody engages with earns nothing.

Tickets & paying

• Many gatherings are free; just RSVP. Some are ticketed, and hosts can price them however fits: a set price, pay-what-you-can, a sliding scale, or a donation. Pick the amount that works for you (within any minimum the host sets).
• Some tickets are reserved for members of the Space hosting the event. You'll see a small lock naming the Space; tap the membership row and you can join right on the event page, and the ticket unlocks. Hosts often pair one with a public ticket, so membership can include events that everyone else pays for.
• Payment goes straight to the host. If plans change, hosts can refund a ticket, and if a host cancels the event, everyone who paid is refunded automatically and emailed to let you know.

Checking in verifies you

When you check in at the door of an event you're going to, you earn your Zaps, keep your streak, and you also become a verified member: a small check appears by your name. Showing up in the real world is the truest sign you're a real person, so it's how verification works here. Nothing to upload, no form, just turn up.

Invite people with your own link

Every event gives you a personal invite to share: a link and a QR code that point straight at the event with your name on them. Text the link, drop it in a group chat, or let someone scan the code off your phone.

• The person you invite does not need an account. When someone who isn't on Frequency opens your link, they get a simple RSVP form: name, email, a phone number if they want, and going or maybe. That's it. They're in.
• Your guests are yours, and they're private. Anyone who RSVPs through your link lands in your own Contacts, stamped with the event. They are not added to any mailing list and nobody blasts them. It works like saving a name in your phone, not like handing out an email list.
• We keep the count straight. If the same person RSVPs twice, it updates their card instead of making a duplicate.

What you earn for bringing people

Sharing your invite is how you earn as a Connector. You get credit for the real thing that happens, not for a name on a list. The reward gets bigger the realer the outcome:

• Someone fills out your RSVP form: a few Zaps.
• They RSVP going or maybe: more Zaps.
• They show up and check in at the door: more Zaps again.
• They join Frequency: the biggest payout, Zaps plus a Gem.

Keep it real. The reward is for people who actually RSVP, show up, or join, never for adding rows nobody engages with, and there's a daily cap so the loop can't be farmed. Bring in 10, 25, or 100 real connections and you earn the Connector achievement, a permanent badge in your Vault.

Chat and photos

• Every event has a little activity feed. Say hi before the day, ask a question, or thank the host after. RSVP to join in.
• Once it's over, drop your photos in the shared recap album so the whole group keeps the memory.

Subscribe and discover

• Subscribe to your events as a calendar. Add one link to Google or Apple Calendar and your RSVPs show up automatically, no re-checking.
• Organizer pages gather everything a host runs at one link, so you can follow the people whose gatherings you like.
• Switch the library to map view to see what's happening near you (we use your approximate neighborhood, never an exact address).
• We'll quietly point out people you might click with: folks going to the same event who share a Channel with you and aren't connected yet.

For hosts

• Add photos to your event. Set a cover image as the poster, then add as many more photos as you like. They show up as a gallery on the event page, with the poster first, and any photo opens full screen when someone taps it. You can add or remove photos anytime by editing the event.
• Announce to your guests. Send a note to everyone who's coming, across in-app, push, and email. Anyone who muted the event or turned off event notifications is skipped.
• Manage screen. One dashboard for your whole event, organized in tabs. Home opens with your numbers at a glance, a "Message everyone" box that reaches your whole guest list at once (by email, in-app message, or a Dispatch, with texting on the way), and a message center where you can look up any attendee and message them directly. Guests holds the full list, the waitlist, and approvals; the other tabs cover your questionnaire (with export), tickets, updates, and the event's settings. You reach it from the event page or the event's editor.
• Cohosts. Add a cohost and they can help run the event right alongside you, including messaging the guest list while the event is on. After the event ends, a cohost on a personal account can still see the whole list and every stat, and can invite everyone to their next event. Messaging the list about anything else takes a Business Space.
• Collaborators. Share your event with another Business Space and, once a steward there approves, your event shows on their calendar too and their Space is featured on your event page. Hosting with Collaborators is part of the Collective plan; being one is free for any Business Space.
• Host as your Space. Create an event from your Space's calendar and the Space is the host: the event page carries its name, and registrations and ticket payments run through it. You can switch any of your events between you and a Space you help run from the event's settings, under "Hosted by."
• Tickets for your members. On the Collective plan, a Space-hosted event can reserve a ticket for its own members, or for one membership tier, under "Who can buy" in the ticket editor. Make it free next to a public paid ticket and your membership includes the event. You can also set this for every upcoming event at once from your Space's Memberships settings, under Event access.
• How people join. In the event's settings, pick one: RSVP (first come, first served; any prices show as information, paid at the door or covered by membership) or Tickets (buying is how people attend). Automatic picks tickets when the event is priced.
• Where your event shows up. Two settings, doing two different jobs. "Who can see this" is who is allowed in: "Anyone" makes it public, "Anyone with the link" keeps it link-only, and the Circle and invite options keep it close. "List this event publicly" is separate: leave it on and your public event shows up when people browse events, turn it off and it stays public and fully shareable, it just is not in the listings. A public event hosted by a Circle now shows up in browse too, the same as any other public event.
• Hide the address. Turn on "Hide the address until someone registers" in the event's settings and people browsing see the city only. The venue, street, map pin, and directions appear once they RSVP or get a ticket.
• Your Space calendar is a manager. In your Space's Calendar console, flip between the month grid and a list, and click any event to edit it. Drafts and past events show there too, and co-host requests from other hosts wait there for your approval.

Tips

• New to a Circle? An event is the easiest way in: say you're coming, then just show up.
• You'll see events from the Circles you've joined, plus public local events happening in your area.
• Want to host? Any member can create an event, as a public local gathering or inside a Circle you host. Featuring another business on your event as a Collaborator is a Business Space feature.
