Android Events and RSVPs

Overview

Use events in the OuterSpatial Android app to find outdoor programs, volunteer days, guided activities, and other events published by organization partners.

Event details can include the schedule, host organization, location, cost, description, photos, related places, directions, and RSVP options when the event accepts reservations.

Find Events

You can find events from several places:

• The Upcoming Events section on your community home screen.
• A place page when the place has related events.
• An organization page when the organization has upcoming events.
• Search when the event appears in the selected community.
• An event link shared by an organization or another visitor.

Tap an event card to open the event details.

Browse the Event Calendar

Tap View All from Upcoming Events to open the event calendar. The calendar shows events by month and marks days that have events.

Tap a date to filter the list to that day. Tap Show All Events to return to the full list.

The calendar can also show challenges from the current community when they are included in the same event and challenge feed.

Open an Event

An event page can show:

• Event name and image.
• Date and time.
• Host organization.
• Address, coordinates, and what3words when available.
• Directions.
• Cost.
• Website.
• Description.
• Related places.

Use the share button to send or copy an event link. Shared links can open the event in the app when the app is installed.

Reserve a Spot

Some events include a Reserve a Spot button. Tap it to RSVP. You may need to sign in before OuterSpatial can save your reservation.

After your RSVP is saved, the button changes to Your Spot is Reserved.

Cancel an RSVP

If you no longer plan to attend, open the event and tap Your Spot is Reserved. Confirm that you want to delete your reservation for the event.

Add an Event to Your Calendar

Open the event options menu and choose Add to Calendar. Android may ask for permission before the event can be added to your device calendar.

If calendar access is denied, update calendar permissions in Android settings and try again.

Troubleshooting

If you cannot open an event, RSVP, or add the event to your calendar:

1. Check your internet connection.
2. Make sure you are signed in when the event requires an RSVP.
3. Confirm the event is still upcoming and still accepting reservations.
4. Check Android calendar permissions if Add to Calendar does not work.
5. Update OuterSpatial from Google Play.
