Social Interactions
The following features and functionalities allow your community to interact with your content and each other.
I'm Interested
I'm Interested is a way to gauge user interest and provide a ballpark idea of attendance numbers. By default, every event listing has an “I’m Interested” button.
How It Works
1. When you select I'm Interested, the event is added to My Calendar in your User dashboard. If it is a repeating event, you'll be prompted to select all dates or specific instances.2. Once I’m Interested is selected, you'll populate the People Interested section of the event. To remove the event, select change dates (recurring event) or not interested (non-recurring event).
- Event Insights: By default all events will include the post-event Event Insights email that arrives around two hours after the event has concluded. Here, you can rate your experience on a scale of 1-5, and/or provide additional feedback in the survey.
User Activity
By default, every event details page includes a User Activity section below the Event Details where users can post comments and reactions. Those who mark themselves as “I’m Interested” will be notified when someone comments on the event, but the user cannot reply directly to the commenter via email. The only way to respond is by leaving a public comment on the event details page.
