Facebook is a social network that gives users many possibilities. For example, people who have an account can not only get a profile in it. There is also the possibility to create a page, with which to promote a business or your talent as an artist. Although it is not the only thing that can be done on the social network. Events can also be created.
The events have been gaining a lot of presence on the social network. Facebook gives users the ability to create all kinds of events, from private events to other public ones. So they are a tool that has many possibilities. And all users can create one.
En este sentido, the only thing you have to have is a Facebook account to be able to create events in it. This is enough, since it is a function that is available to all users of the social network, without any difference. The creation process is not complicated, since the steps are clearly shown on the website itself. But below we show you what has to be done in this regard to create this event.
The important thing in these cases is to be clear what do you want to use this event for on the social network. Because it is a very versatile tool, which can be used for something private, such as organizing a dinner with friends, or organizing a concert in your city, for example. So there are many possibilities in this regard. This process can be done in all versions of the social network. We do it on the desktop, because it is more comfortable to complete in this way.
Create an event on Facebook
The first thing to do is log into the Facebook account of the user in question. When you are already within the social network, we have to fix on the left side of the screen. There is a column with many options. At the bottom of this column you can see that there is the event option. It comes out in the Explore section. It is on this option that you have to click, so that we have access to them.
Upon entering, we get the page where we have the events in our area. In addition to showing events to which we have confirmed attendance, if there are any. At the top of this window we have the option to create a new event. It is located on a blue button. Therefore, to start this process, you have to click on this button. By clicking on it, we are already asked the first question. The social network seeks to know if we want a private event (only visible to you and the people you invite) or a public one (everyone can see it). Depending on the type of event you plan to create, you will have to choose one or the other.
The process of creating each one is somewhat different. Therefore, we show you what it is like to create each of these events on Facebook. So that you know the steps that have to be followed in this regard, and thus create the event properly.
Create private event on Facebook
If we have decided to create a private event on Facebook, the process is not complicated. A window will open on the screen, after having selected the private event option. In this window we have to configure the first aspects of the event in question. The social network allows us to choose a series of themes, if we want, to decorate the invitation to the event a bit. But there are other sections that are more important.
On one hand, a name must be given to said event. It should be clear, but concise, because we don't have too many characters available. In addition, the place where the event will be held, be it a dinner or a birthday, should be included. Also a description of it, such as what are the plans or the agenda for the event in question. The date and time of the celebration are essential, which can also be mentioned in the description, in addition to selecting them from the calendar. Finally, there is the possibility of allowing guests to invite other people. This is something that the creator of the event can avoid, so you just have to uncheck this option. When the description of these aspects has been completed, click on create event, the blue button.
Then you return to the events page on Facebook, where this event that has been created appears. So, we have there the invite button, on which we have to click, to go to the window in which to choose who we want to invite to said event. In this way, the process is complete.
Create public event
On the other hand, we have the possibility to create a public event on Facebook. Therefore, there may be people who want to use this option. To do this, after having clicked on the option to create a public event, a window will appear on the screen in which we can begin the process of creating this event in question. In this case, it is different from creating the private event.
Facebook asks us for a photo or video of the event, which is important when creating a public event. Next, you have to enter data like the ones we have seen in the previous section. Therefore, you must enter the name of the event, a description of it, the place where it will be held, etc. In addition, in this case, being a public event, the social network asks enter both the start and end date of the same. So that those interested know when they can go to it.
You can also configure some additional aspects, such as keywords. This is so that when people search for events in that city, they can find this specific event. When everything has been configured, this event can already be created by pressing the blue button. Being a public event, you do not have to send invitations to other people. But there is the possibility of sharing the event on your profile, so that interest is generated towards it.
