This Article Is For

  • All users with 'Manage Contact Forms' permission
  • Applicable to: All Themes

Tip

Contact forms can be added to pages, blogs, and contests.

Step 1: Create an Event Submission Form

First, create a form for your listeners to submit their events. For detailed steps on creating a form, please see our article How Do I Create a Contact Form?

Include the following fields in your form. Be sure to mark all required fields that your team needs to create the event:

  • Name
  • Email Address
  • Event Title
  • Start Date/Time
  • End Date/Time
  • Venue
  • Age Restrictions
  • Description of Event
  • URL to Event Page
  • URL to Purchase Tickets
  • File Upload Field (for images or flyers)

Step 2: Add the Submission Form to Your Website

Add your submission form to your events page, or create a dedicated page for the form and direct your listeners there. When a listener submits an event, the form data will be emailed to the address you specified during form creation.

Step 3: Add Submitted Events to Your Community Calendar

To publish submitted events, go to the Event Calendar tool in your CMS. Create a new event and copy the information from the form submission into the event fields. Do not forget to add the event to your Community Calendar so it appears on your website.

For more information on creating events and event calendars, please see our article Events.
