An event in Naayya is any activity that happens at a specific location and time—the umbrella term for everything your studio offers. Events include regular classes, special workshops, one-time sessions, and ongoing series. Each event has its own schedule, pricing, and booking options customers can book and attend.
Creating Your First Event#
Navigate to the events page and click the "Add Event Group" button in the top right corner. Enter a name for your event and click "Create Event". You'll be redirected to the event settings page where you can configure all the details.
Event Configuration#
Event Image#
Upload one image per event by clicking the image upload area. Your image will be displayed in two different formats to look great on all devices:
Desktop View (Cinematic 2.35:1)

- Recommended size: 1920×817 pixels
- Best for scenic backgrounds and wide compositions
Mobile View (Standard 4:3)
- Traditional format ideal for portraits and vertical content
- Recommended size: 1200×900 pixels
- Best for close-up shots and people-focused images
Technical Requirements
- Maximum file size: 5MB
- Supported formats: JPG, PNG, WEBP
- The cropping tool will help you optimize for both desktop and mobile views
Basic Information#
Event Name: Click the pencil icon next to the title to modify the event name at any time.
Sub-heading: Add an optional tagline that appears under your event title. Examples include "Beginner Friendly" or "All Levels Welcome".
Description: Write 2-3 sentences describing what customers can expect. Focus on what they'll learn or experience during the event.
Category: Assign your event to a category for better organization. Type any category name - new categories are created automatically if they don't exist. Categories help group similar events together for easy filtering.
Teacher and Location#
Teacher Assignment: Select the instructor for this event from the dropdown menu. If no teachers appear, you'll need to add them first at Admin > Teachers.
Location Setup: Choose where the event takes place from the location dropdown. If the dropdown is empty, add locations first at Admin > Locations.
Pricing Display#
The Price Display Text field shows what customers see on the booking page. Enter display text like "$25", "Free", "Contact us", or "$20-30". This is purely for display - actual pricing is configured separately in the Event Products section.
Tags#
Add searchable keywords to help customers find your event. Click "+ Add Tag" and enter relevant terms. Good examples include "beginner", "advanced", "outdoor", or "workshop".
Publishing Events#
Setting Up the Schedule#
Before customers can book, you need to create event instances. Go to the "Schedule" section and click "Add Event Series". Set your dates, times, and choose a recurring pattern if applicable.
Configuring Pricing#
Set up actual pricing in the "Event Products" section. Add at least one product, set the price, and configure payment options.
Going Live#
Once you've configured the basic details, schedule, and pricing, click the "Go Live" button to make your event visible to customers. Events remain hidden until you manually publish them.
Troubleshooting#
Changes won't save: Ensure all required fields are completed (name, teacher, location).
Event not visible: Verify you've selected the correct studio from the dropdown.
No booking button: Confirm you've added event instances in Schedule and set up products in Event Products, then clicked "Go Live".
Blurry images: Upload a larger image (1200x800px recommended) under 5MB.
Best Practices#
Start with the essentials: event name, teacher, and location. You can always add more details later. Test the booking process by creating a test booking to ensure everything works correctly. Consider duplicating successful events to save time when creating similar offerings.
