What this helps you do
An Event Campaign is a set of messages built around one fixed date. You set the date once and add messages timed relative to it: days or hours before, on the day, at event time, and after. The Hub schedules them all, and if the date changes, every upcoming message moves with it.
When to use it
Use it for a single community moment with a known date: the annual or budget meeting, the pool opening, a community day or holiday party, move-in weekend, a scheduled utility cutover, or the first day of a paving or roofing project.
How to do it
- Open Campaigns and choose New Event Campaign.
- Name it, pick the audience, and set the event date and time.
- Add messages timed before the event (save the date, reminders), on the day (times, parking, details), and after (thank you, next steps).
- Review the timeline and Activate.
- If plans move, use Change event date: upcoming messages are rescheduled; messages already sent do not change.
Example
For the annual meeting you set the date, then add the announcement with the agenda two weeks out, a reminder the day before with the time and place, a note two hours before with where to park, and a follow-up the next morning with what was decided. When the room is rebooked a week later, you change the date once and the pending messages move with it.
Good to know
- A resident who connects after the campaign starts receives only the upcoming messages, never the reminders that already passed.
- This is a reminder arc, not a statutory notice. The meeting notice your bylaws or state law require still goes out exactly the way it always has; the campaign is what makes residents show up.
- For a same-hour change, such as a room move or a cancelled opening, send a regular Blast to the audience; the campaign carries the planned arc.
- Event Campaigns are part of Hub Pro, which unlocks at $500 in cumulative credit purchases for any organization.
