Events · ReactLive Help Center

The events list is the front door of your workspace — everything you are running or have run. It is also where every event's surfaces are one click away.

The events list

Live holds what is on right now, with a count beside it; Upcoming holds everything that has not ended; Past holds what has. Search events… filters by name.
The date badge is the start date. The status pill reads Live while the event is on; the line under the title shows LIVE NOW or the start countdown, then the full time range with its UTC offset.
The tiles — Event page, Audience app, Wall, Mobile console — open that surface in a new tab. Share copies the join link and shows the QR code. Dashboard opens the event's console.

The sidebar on this screen is the account sidebar: Events, and under Account, Organization, Team, Billing and Integrations. Those are covered in Account & team.

Creating an event

Press New event. The flow is two steps.

Step 1: the basics

Create an event asks for the Event name and When: the timezone, when it Starts, and either a Duration — 1h, 2h, 4h or All day — or an exact time it Ends. The end must be after the start. Everything can be changed later under Settings → Configuration. Continue goes on to the event type; Create with defaults skips it and creates the event as Custom.

Step 2: the event type

Choose your event type: pick the one closest to what you are running. A type is a preset: it fills in the setup — who can sign in, whether guests are allowed, whether questions need approval before the audience sees them, reactions, email notifications — and shows you exactly what it chose in the Setup card so you can adjust before creating. The type is a label on the event afterwards; editing the setup never reclassifies it.

Type	Built for
Town Hall	A leadership or civic session where the audience asks and the stage answers. Upvotes on, reactions on.
Conference	A session or panel: fast, upvote-driven Q&A with work identities.
Investor Update	An earnings call or briefing: curated, verified identities, host-driven agenda — no upvotes, no reactions.
Classroom	A class or lecture: open asking, low pressure, school accounts.
Training	A hands-on workshop: questions answered as you go, work identities.
Webinar	A remote audience, speaker-led; questions queued and upvoted for the host.
Watch Party	A live watch-along: high-velocity chat, reactions first, zero friction to join.
Custom	Something else — sensible platform defaults, every setting yours to change.

Step 2 of 2, Choose your event type: the eight type tiles with Town Hall selected, and the Setup card showing what the blueprint sets, sign-in methods, guest access, Ask guests for email, Invite only and Q&A moderation — The event type step. The Setup card lists every setting the type applies — what the blueprint sets, sign-in methods, guest access, invite-only, moderation — and lets you flip any of them before creating.

An event needs a way in

A setup with no sign-in method and no guest access cannot be joined by anyone. Add Google, Microsoft or email sign-in, or allow guests.

Press Create event (Back returns to the basics). ReactLive prepares the audience app, the event page, the wall and the mobile console, assigns the event a join code and adds you as its first moderator. Your event is ready shows the join code and the four surfaces; Go to admin opens the console. The AI agents start at the workspace defaults — Protect and Report on Auto, Engage and Answer on Assist — which you can change under Settings → Agents.

Event status: scheduled, live, ended

An event is scheduled until its start time, live from its start until its end, and ended after that. Two buttons in Settings → Configuration move it along early:

Go live now moves the event's start time to now, replacing the scheduled start — the audience can join immediately.
End event sets the end time to now. Audience surfaces switch to their after-event state (recap and rating); the live insights freeze into the final report.

The join code and every link keep working in all three states. Someone scanning a printed QR the day before sees "starts soon", not an error; someone opening it a week after sees the recap.

The links an event carries

Join link: https://www.reactlive.com/e/<code> — the one to print and share. On a phone it opens the audience app; on a laptop, the event page.
Phone link: https://www.reactlive.com/m/<code> — the same, but always the audience app. Handy in a text message.
Typed entry: reactlive.com/join — a box to type the code into. Case, spaces and hyphens do not matter: 7K2 Q4H, 7k2q4h and 7K2-Q4H all work.
Console: https://<workspace>.reactlive.com/dashboard — moderators only.

The code itself is explained under Settings → Access → The event code.
