- Under the Virtual tab, paste the meeting URL from your virtual meeting platform.
- Add clear instructions to help residents successfully join the online meeting.
Save the event
- Review all event details for accuracy.
- Click Save to publish the virtual event.
Verify the event appears in the resident app
- Open the K4Community app and go to Events.
- Scroll to the scheduled event time. (You may need to refresh the page)
- Confirm the event appears correctly and the virtual event link works as expected
Cautionary Notes
- Do not publish the event until the meeting URL has been tested and confirmed to work.
- Confirm the event is assigned to the correct calendar/visibility setting so the intended residents can see it.
- Double-check that the virtual link is correct and pasted into the correct field and not into the description only.
- If the meeting platform requires authentication or a password, include any necessary access instructions for residents in the Instructions field.
Tips for Efficiency
- Make sure you’ve created an Event Location called “Virtual” so that all of your virtual events can be organized into that Location.
- Use a consistent naming convention for virtual events, such as [Community Name] Town Hall.
- Keep the description informative and concise so residents understand the purpose of the event.
- After saving, always verify the event in the resident app to catch visibility or link issues early.
