Setting an event go-live date

A go-live date lets you mark an event as active in Chamberly while keeping it hidden from the public storefront until a specific date and time. Use it to coordinate launches with your marketing schedule or to give first-rights holders early access.

• You need an org_manager or chamber_staff role

• The event must have at least one sponsorship before going live

• Decide the exact date and time you want the event to appear publicly

1. Open the event from Sidebar > Events

2. Click Edit event

3. Find the Go-live date field

4. Pick a date and time in your chamber's timezone

5. Set the event status to active

6. Click Save

• Sponsorships in not_yet_available stay hidden regardless of go-live date

• Sponsorships in first_rights are visible to first-rights holders only — even before the public go-live date

• At the go-live timestamp, sponsorships flip from first_rights to public if you have an automation set up; otherwise change them manually

• Use go-live to align event launches with announcement emails — schedule the email for the same minute

• Test the public page in an incognito browser before go-live so you can confirm what the public will see

• If you set a go-live date in the past, the event becomes immediately visible

• Combine go-live with first-rights windows to give past sponsors a head start

What happens if I forget to flip sponsorships to public after go-live?
The event will be visible but sponsorships in first_rights are hidden from non-first-rights sponsors. Set up a Marketing > Automation to flip them automatically.

Can I have a different go-live date for each sponsorship?
No — go-live is event-level. Use sponsorship availability statuses to phase rollouts within an event.

What timezone is the go-live date in?
Your chamber timezone, set in Settings > Organization.
