GoHighLevel Community Events Guide
Use this guide to learn how ClickUp style organization concepts can help you plan and manage events with the GoHighLevel Community Events feature. You will see how to create, publish, and organize events so members can easily discover what is happening in your community space.
This walkthrough is based on the official Community Events documentation and focuses on clear, actionable steps you can implement right away.
What Are GoHighLevel Community Events?
Community Events in GoHighLevel are scheduled activities that appear inside a community space. They give members a centralized place to see what is coming up and how to participate.
Events are displayed in a dedicated section where members can scroll through cards, see key details, and decide which activities interest them. Admins and moderators control what appears and how events are presented.
GoHighLevel Community Events Key Features
The Community Events tool in GoHighLevel provides a structured way to keep your community informed and engaged. From the official documentation, the main options include:
- Create events inside a selected space
- Add titles, descriptions, dates, and multimedia
- Choose how the event is displayed to members
- Publish or update events as details change
- View events in a separate event feed within the community
These options help you build an ongoing calendar of activities that members can rely on.
How to Access GoHighLevel Community Events
Before you can create or manage an event, you must know where events live inside the platform. Community Events are always linked to a specific community space.
- Log in to your GoHighLevel account.
- Navigate to the Communities section from the left-hand menu.
- Select the community where you want to manage events.
- Choose the specific space where events should appear.
- Open the Events area associated with that space.
Once you are in the correct space, you can add or edit events using the options shown in the interface.
How to Create a New GoHighLevel Community Event
Follow these steps to create a new Community Event in GoHighLevel and place it into your desired space.
Step 1: Open the Event Creation Window
- Inside your chosen community space, look for the Events section.
- Click the button or icon that allows you to add a new event. This opens the event creation window.
This window is where you will enter all of the event details that members see.
Step 2: Add Event Details in GoHighLevel
Within the event creation screen, you can configure the following fields (as described in the official guide):
- Title: Name of your event so members recognize it quickly.
- Description: Brief explanation of what the event is about, what will be covered, and who it is for.
- Date and Time: Set the event start (and end, if applicable) time and date.
- Location or Format: Indicate if it is virtual, in-person, or within a specific part of the community.
- Image or Media (if available): Add a featured image or relevant media to make the event card more attractive.
Keep your title and description short and clear so members can scan the event feed quickly.
Step 3: Configure Event Visibility
The GoHighLevel documentation explains that events appear in the Community Events section as cards. When configuring visibility, consider:
- Which space or segment of your community should see the event.
- Whether the event is public to all community members in that space or intended for a smaller group.
- How the event will appear in the event listing so it stands out without overwhelming other events.
Set visibility according to your community structure and member roles.
Step 4: Publish the Event in GoHighLevel
- Review the title, description, and schedule.
- Confirm that all required fields are filled.
- Click the button to Save or Publish the event.
Once published, the event appears inside the Community Events feed for that space, allowing members to see upcoming activities.
How Community Members View Events in GoHighLevel
When Community Events are active, members see a dedicated feed where all scheduled activities are displayed as cards. Each event card summarizes the important details and allows members to learn more.
From the member perspective, GoHighLevel presents events in a visually organized layout so users can:
- Scroll through a list of upcoming events
- Open an event card for more information
- See event images, dates, and descriptions quickly
This keeps event discovery centralized, reducing the need for separate announcements or scattered posts.
Best Practices for GoHighLevel Community Events
To get the most out of Community Events in GoHighLevel, follow these practical best practices based on the documented workflow:
Use Clear, Actionable Titles
- Make the event purpose obvious from the first few words.
- Avoid internal-only abbreviations that members may not recognize.
Keep Descriptions Short and Helpful
- Use brief paragraphs and bullet points.
- State who the event is for and what attendees will gain.
- Include any necessary links or references directly in the description if the interface supports them.
Maintain a Consistent Event Schedule
- Publish events on a regular rhythm (for example, weekly or monthly).
- Update events if times or details change so the feed stays accurate.
- Avoid creating duplicate events for the same activity unless they are intentionally separate sessions.
Use Visuals When Possible
- Add a relevant image or banner to the event card.
- Keep visuals on-brand to match your community space.
Troubleshooting GoHighLevel Community Events
If you do not see events as expected, review these common checks:
- Correct Space Selected: Confirm you are in the right community space where the event was created.
- Event Published: Make sure the event is saved and published, not left as a draft.
- Role Permissions: Ensure your user role has permission to view or manage events in that space.
- Date and Time: Verify that the event is not scheduled in the past if your community primarily displays upcoming activities.
