How do I schedule when sign-ups open and close?

Last updated on Feb 17, 2026

Sign-up scheduling lets you control exactly when attendees can sign up for your event. This is useful when you want sign-ups to open at a specific time (e.g. first-come-first-served starting next Monday) or close before the event starts (e.g. no sign-ups after the day before).

How to set it up

  1. Create or edit an event
  2. Open Advanced options at the bottom of the form
  3. Check Schedule sign-up window
  4. Set a Sign-ups open date and time (optional — leave empty to open immediately)
  5. Set a Sign-ups close date and time (optional — leave empty to close at event start time)
  6. Save the event

What attendees see

  • Before sign-ups open: The event page shows a message like "Sign-ups open in 3 days" with the sign-up button disabled.
  • During the window: Attendees can sign up as normal.
  • After sign-ups close: The sign-up button is disabled with a message that sign-ups have closed.

Good to know

  • Organisers can always manually add attendees regardless of the sign-up window.
  • You can change the schedule at any time by editing the event.
  • If you only set a close time (no open time), sign-ups will be open immediately and close at the time you set.
  • If you only set an open time (no close time), sign-ups will open at that time and remain open until the event starts.

Requirements

Sign-up scheduling is available on Team and Club plans. Compare plans
