You can see a list of all events that are currently hosted as part of your event campaign in chronological order and manage each event on your event campaign's manage page. If you've enabled Event Vetting, you can filter by approved, pending, or draft events. You can view a list of all event hosts by clicking Create Host Report at the top of the event campaign's manage page.
A list of basic statistics, including the number of events hosted and the number of RSVPs, appears in the upper right corner. To view every event, click the Manage Events tab below the main section. There you will find each event’s administrative title, with a link to its RSVP page, location, host, date and time, privacy status, whether it is upcoming or passed, sponsors, RSVP count, and an indication if it is a Shift Event. If an event does not have an administrative title, the public event title will be listed. Click the mail icon to email a host using your device’s email program.
To manage an event, click the Manage button. This will open the event's manage page, where you can edit it as if it were your own.
Approving Events
If your group has enabled event vetting, hosts submit events for approval by event campaign administrators, rather than publishing them immediately. Event Vetting is a Boost feature. You can learn more about Boost and how to sign up here. If you've signed up for event vetting notifications in the Responses tab of the Action Manage page for this campaign, you will receive an email notifying them an event has been submitted for review. After approval, events are published to the event campaign. Under the Pending tab, you can view all pending events. You can approve or reject events that appear on the map/list of events under this letter campaign. If you approve an event, it will appear on the map/list of actions and be searchable by activists. Hosts will receive an email notifying them if their event was approved or rejected.
If you reject an event, it will not appear as part of your action. Note that removing or rejecting an event does not cancel the event -- events are owned by the host, not you. It removes your group's name as the sponsor of the event, removes the event from your event campaign's search page, stops adding activists who RSVP to your group's email list, and generally turns the event into a normal standalone event.
Adding events
If one of your hosts accidentally made their event outside of the event campaign, you can add it to your event campaign after it's published. Scroll down to the 'add event to event campaign' section, and copy/paste the link to the event's RSVP page in the field. The link should look something like https://actionnetwork.org/events/amys-dog-walking-party . Click 'invite', and the host of the event will receive an email to approve or decline the addition of their event to the event campaign.
Note that any RSVPs collected before the event is added to the event campaign will not be retroactively added to the event campaign. RSVPers will need to RSVP again, or you can upload a list of previous RSVPs you've received from the event host and target that upload in your emails and reports.
You can also upload events in bulk, upload suggested locations, or add existing events from your group. When adding events from your group, you can select individual events or Shift Events from the list.
You can also download a report on all events in your event campaign with the event's details such as start and end time, host contact info, privacy status, sponsors, if it's a shift event, and publication status by clicking the button at the bottom of the event list.
Event Priority
Event campaign administrators also have the ability to pin important events, such as a virtual call, volunteer training, events needing more RSVPSs, national events, or other high-priority events. These are designated as such from the event campaign’s Manage page and will be more visible to activists who visit your event campaign. Under the Events tab of the event campaign’s manage page, admins can mark a particular event as starred/pinned, meaning an event is high-priority. Individual events can also be ‘unstarred’ at any point later as well, as priorities change. Pinned events are currently available to all partners, but will be moving to Boost in 2026. You can learn more about Boost and how to sign up here.
The events that are starred/pinned in this way are affected in the following ways:
- On the event campaign page and widgets, starred events appear at the top of the event list
- Starred/pinned events are visually distinct so visitors can recognize them quickly
- When visitors use filters (such as location or keyword search), any starred events that match the criteria will appear at the top of the results list and remain visually highlighted
Unpublishing or cancelling all events in your event campaign
It may sometimes be necessary to unpublish or cancel all events that are part of an event campaign at the same time. You can do this from your Event Campaign’s manage page using the Cancel All Events and Unpublish All Events buttons. These bulk actions cannot be reversed all at once. However, events that are unpublished can still be edited and published again individually.
If cancellation notices are enabled for events in your event campaign, they will be sent to activists when you use Cancel All Events. The Unpublish All Events option will instead return all event actions to draft status without sending cancellation notices. Both options will display a confirmation pop-up before the action is completed.
