Dates & Occurrences

Every event on Esora has one or more occurrences — specific dates and times when the event happens.

What is an occurrence?

An occurrence represents a single instance of your event. A concert happening on March 28 at 8 PM is one occurrence. A weekly workshop happening every Saturday is one event with multiple occurrences.

Managing occurrences

In the Dates & Tickets section of the event editor, each occurrence shows:

• Date — when the event takes place
• Time — the start time
• End date (optional) — for multi-day events
• End time (optional) — when the event ends
• Price — ticket price or “Free”
• Ticket links — URLs where users can buy tickets

Adding a new date

Click ”+ Add Date” below your existing occurrences. A new occurrence is created with tomorrow’s date pre-filled — adjust the date and time as needed.

Adding end dates and times

By default, only the start date and time are shown. Click ”+ Add end date” on an occurrence to reveal the end date and end time fields. This is useful for:

• Multi-day events (festivals, exhibitions)
• Events where knowing the end time matters (workshops, conferences)

Adding ticket links

Click ”+ Add ticket link” to add a URL where users can purchase tickets. You can add multiple ticket links per occurrence — useful when tickets are sold on different platforms.

Single vs. recurring events

Single events

Most events happen once. They have a single occurrence with one date and time.

Recurring events

Events that happen multiple times (weekly shows, daily exhibitions, a concert series) should have multiple occurrences under one event. This keeps everything organized under a single listing — users see all available dates in one place instead of separate event cards for each date.

Tip

When the AI extracts events from your social media, it automatically creates multiple occurrences if your post mentions several dates for the same event (e.g., “Shows at 5 PM and 8 PM” or “Every Saturday in April”).

Enabling and disabling occurrences

Each saved occurrence has an enable/disable toggle. Disabling an occurrence hides it from users without deleting it. This is useful when:

• A specific showtime is cancelled but others remain
• You want to temporarily hide a date
• The event is postponed and you’ll re-enable it later

Deleting occurrences

Click the trash icon on an occurrence to delete it. You can only delete an occurrence when there’s more than one — every event needs at least one date.

How dates interact with the automatic importer

When the system re-checks your social media, it may find new dates or updated times. Here’s what happens:

• New dates found by the importer are added as additional occurrences
• Dates you’ve manually edited are protected by field pinning — the importer won’t change them
• Dates that disappear from the importer’s results may be automatically disabled (unless you’ve pinned them)
