Events Calendar

The Events Calendar is a schedule your workspace edits in the console and your visitors read on the site. Each event carries a time, a place, an organizer, a description and a cover image, and stays invisible until you publish it.

Plan availability

Add-on. The Event Calendar is a flat monthly add-on that covers the whole workspace on any paid plan — buy it on Billing → Add-ons (see Add-ons). Until it's enabled the Events page explains the add-on, and the Event List element renders nothing on your site.

Manage events

The console Events page lists your site's events, newest start first. Add event opens the editor; each event has:

  • Title — required.
  • Starts and Ends — a start time is required; leaving the end blank (or setting it before the start) gives the event one hour.
  • Location and Organizer — both optional, and both shown next to the date.
  • Cover image URL — optional thumbnail, shown beside the event.
  • Description — optional detail paragraph.

Set published / Set to draft flips an event's status, shown as a chip in the list. Delete removes an event from your site.

Drafts never leave the console

The public listing filters to published events on the server, so a draft is never sent to a visitor's browser — it's a safe place to stage next month's schedule.

Show events on a screen

Events reach visitors through the Event List canvas element (Data display category) — drop it on any screen in the Besigner and set:

  • Heading — a title above the list; empty hides it.
  • ShowUpcoming (default) or Past events.
  • Max items — how many to render (default 10).

Upcoming lists the next events by start time; past lists the most recent first. The list is served through the public events API and cached briefly at the CDN, so a newly published event can take about a minute to appear.

Search engines

Every rendered event emits schema.org Event JSON-LD — name, start and end, place, organizer, description and image — so search engines can show your events as rich results. Nothing to configure; see SEO for the rest of your site's structured data.
