What is Community Events?
Community Events are event posts that live inside your HighLevel Community and Client Portal. They centralize details (title, date/time, description, location or link), handle member registration, and surface handy actions like Add to Google or Add to iCal so members remember to attend. Depending on your configuration, events can be visible to everyone or limited to specific courses, groups, or private channels.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I get notified when someone registers for an event?
Currently, the system does not send admins or event creators a notification when someone registers for an event. Attendees do receive email and in-app notifications, but hosts will not be alerted. If tracking registrations is essential, consider using a custom registration form and workflow to trigger notifications.
Q: How can a member cancel their attendance for an event?
There is no official “cancel registration” button for attendees. However, on mobile, members can go to the Events tab > hamburger menu > event > three-dot menu and select Delete to remove it from their personal calendar view. This action does not notify the event organizer.
Q: Can I restrict event access to specific groups or members?
Yes! When creating an event, admins have the option to control who can see and attend the event. Access can be restricted based on membership in a specific course, participation in a private channel, or a user’s engagement level within the group. This allows you to tailor events to specific audiences—such as paid members, internal teams, or users who have reached a certain level of activity—ensuring that the right people have access to the right experiences.
Q: Can I make an event a paid one?
Yes, you can set up paid events by assigning a registration fee during event creation. You’ll be able to choose the currency and define whether the price applies to just one event or a series of recurring events. Payment handling and access settings are built right into the event setup flow.
