Community gathering
Share the page through your channel and collect registrations. If the link can be freely shared with friends, make that clear to attendees and manage capacity with ticket limits.
Planning and publishing / Private events
Bring your audience together and set the entry rules in advance.
For a community gathering, corporate event or private screening, two decisions matter: who can see the page and what they need to enter. Direct-link access helps limit public promotion, while registration and tickets help organize attendance.
An event for a selected audience
How you invite guests depends on how strictly attendance needs to be restricted.
Corporate event
Use the page to share information and collect registrations, and agree on entry rules with the person responsible for guests. If entry is for employees only, you may need an additional check at the venue.
Private screening
Send invitations to selected guests and decide in advance whether tickets may be transferred. The door team should know when a QR code is enough and when to check a name against your list.

How to create a clear process
Limit public visibility
Link-only mode removes the event from directories. This is useful when you manage how the page is shared, but it does not replace authorisation, a password or personal invitations.
Collect the information you need
Ask for information that genuinely helps you prepare for the event. If you need to check it against an external guest list, assign someone to do so and establish a clear process. Direct-link mode does not by itself enable automatic checks against a guest list.
Admission rules at the venue
A QR code helps verify a ticket and whether it has been used. If you need to confirm who is presenting it, that is a separate task for your team. Explain the requirements to guests in advance to avoid surprises at the door.
Set up visibility, invitations and entry
- 01
Set your invitation rules
Decide whether a ticket is enough for entry or whether your team also needs to check each guest against an invitation list. Set clear participation terms before sharing the link.
- 02
Check event visibility
The “direct link” setting is available in the old event management interface. If you’re using the new interface, coordinate its activation with support. Check the result without signing in to the organizer’s account.
- 03
Share the link and prepare for entry
Share the link with your chosen audience through your usual channels. Set up registration and tickets, and prepare your team to scan tickets and check invitations separately if needed.
Check in advance
Check the guest experience
Visibility checked
The page and directory appear as expected, without needing an organiser account.
Transfer rules are clear
Guests know whether they can forward the link or transfer the ticket.
The team knows the admission criteria
It is clear when a ticket is checked and when the invitation also needs to be verified.
FAQs
FAQs
How does an event accessed by direct link differ from a public event?
It is excluded from the platform’s public directories, and anyone with the link can access the page. This is a visibility setting, not a way to verify the identity of everyone who visits the page.
Where can I enable direct-link access?
This setting is available in the old event editor. A link to the old event management interface remains in the website header and footer. If the required mode isn’t available in the new interface, coordinate the setting with support before sending invitations.
Can an invitee forward the link?
Yes. Avoid putting information on the page that should not be visible to anyone who receives the link. If entry is limited to named guests, arrange an additional invitation check; the link itself does not provide one.
Can I use free registration?
Yes. Set up a free ticket and any required form fields. Registration helps you collect orders and information for planning. It does not automatically confirm that the person who registered is on your invitation list.
Will the page be completely hidden from search engines?
Direct-link mode excludes the page from the directory and includes a request not to index it. This does not guarantee confidentiality or prevent third parties from linking to the page. This setting alone is not enough for sensitive information or strict access control.
