Revisual shows whatever is in the Google calendars you connect. A little organisation in Google Calendar makes it easy to control which events reach your website and who can add them.
Use a separate calendar for each purpose
Keep public events apart from private ones. For example:
one calendar for public events and one for internal meetings
one calendar per location, branch or venue
one calendar per event type, such as classes, workshops and special offers
Then connect only the calendars you want to show (see Connect Google Calendar), or use + Add filter on a calendar widget's Setup tab to show only some of them (see Filter events: options and logic).
Google's guide: Create a new calendar.
Give each calendar its own colour
Colours make your calendars easy to tell apart in Google Calendar, and Revisual can use them on your website too. Turn on Use calendar color as accent color on the widget's Design tab. See Use calendar color as accent color.
You can also set a colour for a single event, which overrides its calendar's colour.
Let your team add events
Share a calendar with your staff so they can add and update events themselves. In Google Calendar, open the calendar's Settings and sharing, add people under Share with specific people or groups, and give them Make changes to events.
Events they add appear on your website after the next sync. They don't need a Revisual account.
Google's guide: Share your calendar with someone.
If your team also adds event images, share the images folder with them too. See Add images to Google Calendar events.
Get the most from each event
What you put in a Google Calendar event shapes how it looks on your website:
Location: shown on the event, with a link to the map.
Description: links to YouTube or Vimeo become video players, and the first or last link can become a call-to-action button.
Attachment: the first image becomes the event's cover image.
