Create Events Manually
Most events on Esora are imported automatically from your social media, but you can always create one by hand — for something you haven’t posted yet, or an event the importer didn’t pick up.
Creating an event in the Esora Organizer app is one smart screen. You fill in the essentials and choose how the event works:
- Name — a clear, descriptive title
- Date — when it happens
- Venue — where it happens
- Cover — an image people will see first
Then choose the event’s access — this is the key decision:
- Open — no tickets, just a listing. Good for free, drop-in events.
- Free registration (RSVP) — people reserve a spot for free.
- Paid tickets — people buy tickets on Esora.
If you pick free registration or paid, you’ll set up at least one ticket tier — see Ticket Types & Pricing.
Drafts and publishing
Section titled “Drafts and publishing”Every new event starts as a draft — only you can see it. Take your time: fill in what you know, save, and come back to add more. When you’re ready, publish it and it goes live for people to discover.
Why can’t I publish yet?
Section titled “Why can’t I publish yet?”Before an event can go live, it needs to pass a short readiness checklist:
- A name
- At least one date
- A venue
- A cover image
- For free-registration or paid events, at least one active ticket tier
If the publish button won’t let you through, one of these is missing. Fill in the gap and try again.
About venues
Section titled “About venues”The venue has to already exist in Esora’s list — start typing and pick it from the results. You can’t add a new venue yourself. If yours isn’t there, contact us and we’ll add it.
The importer leaves your events alone
Section titled “The importer leaves your events alone”Events you create yourself are never overwritten by the automatic importer — your details stay exactly as you set them. The only thing the importer will ever do is fill in a field you left empty. See Protecting Your Edits for the full picture.
