Event Fields Explained: Event Type (digital events)
When creating an event one of the fields required is the "Event-Type" field. This functionality breaks events down into four sub-types of events—two in-person event types and two virtual event types. This article we will be focusing on the two digital event types only.
#1. DIGITAL EVENT, ACCESSED THROUGH URL:
- This event type allows participants to enter the meeting via URL. For this method you will need to have set up your virtual meeting on a third-party virtual conferencing platform (this could be on Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, etc.). Once set up, these platforms should provide you with the necessary information in order for participants to join. For more information on how to set up virtual meetings outside of the Milkcrate app, please visit the Virtual Events Article.
For this example we will be referencing Zoom, however the steps should apply to most other meeting platforms.
- In order to grant participants access to the meeting you will require the meeting URL which should look something like this (zoom example). Again this should be provided to you by whichever third-party platform you are using after you have set up your event on there.
- This URL should then be copied into the following field, "Check-In URL."
#2. DIGITAL EVENT, ACCESSED THROUGH PHONE CALL:
- This event type allows participants to enter the meeting via Phone call. For this method you will need to have set up your virtual meeting on a third-party virtual conferencing platform (this could be on Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, etc.). Once set up, these platforms should provide you with the necessary information in order for participants to join. For more information on how to set up virtual meetings outside of the Milkcrate app, please visit this article. For this example we will be referencing Zoom, however the steps should apply to most other meeting platforms.
- In order to grant participants access to the meeting you will require the meeting phone number which should look something like this (zoom example).
- This number should then be copied into the following field, "Check-In Phone Number."
- A "+" must be included at the beginning. The remaining 11 numbers should be inputted without any spacing or the use of "-".
- Good Example: +12678310333
- Bad Example: + 1-267-831-o333
