The Direct Events feature is available to all members who've joined a community via the Freegle website or app (as opposed to other interfaces such as TrashNothing).

On the website, you'll find Events via the Events tab in the top menu, or to the left of the main message body on the ChitChat page.

Moderators get a notification so they can check a post before it goes live.

If you want an event removed before its expiry date, email support@ilovefreegle.org. Alterations should be resubmitted as a new post, with the original deleted.

For an example admin notice to tell your members about the Events facility, see Sample Admin: Events.

By default, members receive email notifications about events (the Community Event Roundup), though they can switch this off in Settings. Notifications go out weekly on Thursdays, repeating until the event expires.
