Create and configure an event

The Events application allows you to promote your different events. With Yapla, you can plan and  manage your event, taking into account the specific aspects of each one: registration mode, registration period, free or with rates, different options, invoice, etc. 

When creating an event, you can choose its location, organizer, prices, registration forms, configure its web page and its promotion on social networks. 

Add an event

To create an event, you must first go to the Events application page. Click "Add an Event".

Web page

Customize the web page for your event if you are not already using the Yapla Website application. This unique web page allows you to publish an event very quickly and easily. However the customization of the latter is more basic than that of a website. 

Choose the logo of your event, the colors and the font of the page.

Once you have customized your page, the creation of your event will be completed. You can view your event page.
