With Subsplash Group Events, group managers can create and manage events directly within the messaging interface, making it easier to keep everyone informed and engaged without needing separate calendar tools or email chains.

For Subsplash Groups & Messaging clients whose apps are updated to the latest app version (6.14+), you can access Group Events by logging into your group on the mobile app or web messaging interface.

Creating an Event

Group managers can create events in two simple ways:

On Mobile

  1. Open your Subsplash app

  2. Click on the Messaging icon

  3. Navigate to “Conversations”

  4. Select your group

  5. Tap the "+" icon in the message composer

  6. Select "Event" from the menu

  7. Fill in the event details and tap "Create"

On Web Messaging

  1. Open Subsplash Messaging on the web

  2. Navigate to “Conversations”

  3. Select your group

  4. Click the "+" icon in the message composer

  5. Select "Event" from the menu

  6. Fill in the event details and click "Create"

Only group managers can create and edit events. Regular members can view events and interact through reactions and comments.

Event Details

When creating an event, you can include:

  • Event title

  • Date and time

  • Location (optional)

  • Description (optional)

  • Recurring options (one-time or repeating)

For recurring events, you can set the frequency (daily, weekly, monthly) and an end date if applicable.

Managing Events

After creating an event, group managers can:

  • Edit event details - Tap/click on the event and select "Edit"

  • Delete an event - Tap/click on the event and select "Delete"

  • Update members - Group managers can share their event back to the Group chat feed to remind members of upcoming events or highlight any changes

Member Interaction

Group members can engage with events in several ways:

  • React with emojis - Express interest or excitement with a quick emoji reaction

  • Comment in threads - Ask questions or coordinate details in the event comment thread

  • Receive notifications - All group members receive notifications about new events

Best Practices

  • Create events at least a week in advance when possible

  • Include clear location details and any special instructions

  • Use the description field to share what members should bring or prepare

  • For recurring events, create a single recurring event rather than multiple individual events

  • Encourage members to use reactions to acknowledge they've seen the event

  • Use Polls to gather potluck or planning information

In addition to creating events through the mobile app and web messaging, we've made sure group managers have all the tools they need to keep their community engaged and informed about upcoming gatherings.
