Events and workshops use booking tools differently from one-on-one services. They usually have a fixed time, capacity, registration deadline, reminders, and follow-up after the session. Treat each event as a small launch: the registration page, payment rules, customer messages, and post-event next step should all agree.

What this guide helps you do

• Create a fixed-date event or workshop customers can register for.
• Set capacity, price, intake, reminders, and confirmation details.
• Review registration and attendance before and after the event.

Before you start

• Confirm event title, date, time, timezone, location, and capacity.
• Know whether registration is free, paid, deposit-based, or approval-based.
• Prepare the event description, agenda, and any replay or follow-up plan.

Do it manually

1. Open Bookings and create an event, workshop, class, or group session.
2. Add the title, description, date, time, timezone, location, and capacity.
3. Add registration questions and payment settings if needed.
4. Set confirmation copy and reminder timing.
5. Preview the registration path and submit a test registration.
6. Publish or share the event only after registration, payment, and reminder settings are reviewed.

Ask Faster AI

• Create a workshop registration draft for a service-business lead generation session. Include description, capacity, reminders, and follow-up.
• Review this workshop setup for missing timezone, price, capacity, registration questions, and reminder details.
• Draft reminder and follow-up copy for this event and keep it ready for review.

Review before customers use it

• Check date, timezone, capacity, price, registration deadline, and cancellation terms.
• Confirm reminder messages do not expose private attendee details.
• Test the registration path on mobile before sharing the event link.
• Make sure the follow-up plan is ready before the event starts, especially if the workshop should lead to consultations, course enrollment, or paid services.

Common issues and fixes

• If registrations exceed capacity, check capacity and waitlist or approval settings.
• If customers miss reminders, confirm sender, timing, and attendee email collection.
• If attendees need prep materials, add them to confirmation and reminder messages.
