Tell residents what is happening before they have to ask.

Post a gathering, a water shutoff, a fire alarm test or a holiday closure once, for one property or the whole portfolio. Residents see it on a calendar in their portal, and an optional reminder goes out ahead of it.

From an idea to a reminder

  1. Create the event

    Give it a title, a category, a date and time, a location and a description, and choose the properties it applies to.

  2. Save it as a draft, or publish

    A draft stays hidden from residents until you publish it. Cancel an event and it comes off their calendars.

  3. Residents see it

    Published events appear on the calendar in the tenant portal for the residents it applies to, and nobody else.

  4. A reminder goes out

    If you turned a reminder on, residents in scope get a notification ahead of the event.

What is included

The event

Everything a resident needs to plan around it.

  • Six categories: social, maintenance, inspection, meeting, closure and other
  • All-day or timed, with an end date for multi-day events
  • A location and a written description
  • Draft, published and cancelled states

The audience

Only the people it concerns.

  • Scope an event to one property or to every property
  • Residents see events for where they live
  • Co-tenants on a lease see the same calendar
  • Optional reminders to the residents in scope

The calendar

One view for you, one for them.

  • A resident calendar with week and month views
  • A manager calendar that adds showings, visits, move-ins and lease deadlines
  • Filters by category
  • Sync to Google Calendar and Outlook for staff and residents

Keeping it tidy

Easy to run alongside everything else.

  • A list of upcoming and past events with filters by category and property
  • Edit or delete from the event's page
  • Times shown in your organization's time zone
  • Switch the feature off in settings if you do not use it

Questions about community events

Can I post an event for just one building?

Yes. Scope the event to one property, and only residents there see it. Scope it to all properties for something like a holiday closure.

How do reminders work?

Turn a reminder on when you create the event and choose how far ahead. Residents in scope receive an in-app notification. Reminders are checked once a day, so they arrive that day rather than at an exact hour.

Can residents RSVP?

No. Residents see the event and its details on their calendar. There is no RSVP or attendance tracking, and recurring events are created one occurrence at a time.

Can I use it for maintenance notices?

Yes. Post a water shutoff or an inspection window as a maintenance event, and residents see it on their calendar before it happens.

Do residents see draft or cancelled events?

Drafts are hidden until you publish them, and a cancelled event no longer appears on residents' calendars.

Give residents one calendar to check.

Get started, and post your first event for a property.
