Events Introduction

Last updated 1 November 2026

Each event you run, with its dates, venue, pricing, tickets, people and finances.

An event item is one event you run: a conference, a workshop, a dinner or an online session. Each event holds its dates, venue, description, pricing, tickets, speakers, sponsors, FAQs and expenses, and shows a financial summary of revenue against costs.

Where to find events

In the admin, open Events and choose All Events. From there you can view, add and edit events, and import or export them.

From code

The Events API manages events at /events/api/v2/events. Creating one needs an event name. Deleting an event also deletes its custom fields, FAQs, pricing divisions, speakers, sponsors, expenses and tickets, and the response says how many of each. It sends an event_added webhook when an event is created.

Note

The docs instance has no events, so none was read. The fields come from the Events module reference in the Insites Logic Engine.

Common mistakes

  • Deleting an event that has sold tickets. Its tickets are deleted with it.
  • Leaving out the time zone. Times then show in the wrong zone for people in other places.
  • Setting up pricing through the API. Pricing divisions and tiers are managed in the admin only.
