Public vs private (unlisted) events

Running events · Last updated 2026-07-29

How the visibility setting decides where your event shows up — and where it doesn't.

What each mode means

• Public — the event appears in the events feed, in on-site search, in the sitemap Google uses, and in interest-based notifications we send members. This is the default for the organizer plan.
• Unlisted (private) — the event does none of the above. It exists only at its shared link. This is the default for Corporate plans (and can be changed per event).

Setting visibility on an event

1. On the Add Event form, find the Visibility field.
2. Pick Public or Unlisted.
3. On Corporate plans, the field defaults to Unlisted. Flip it to Public per event if you want that specific event listed.

Sharing an unlisted event

Copy the event's public URL from the address bar of the event page (or from the event card in your dashboard). Send it in the invitation email or the calendar invite. Anyone with that link can open the event; whether they can register depends on your registration settings (approval-required, capacity, waitlist).
