When creating events, admins can configure internal RSVPs (collected directly within uConnect, with optional confirmation and reminder emails) or external RSVPs (linking out to a third-party system like Handshake or Eventbrite), and should tag events carefully to ensure they surface in the right subscriber alerts. Having all your career-related events in one central location is important to making your career services website the central hub for students to find career information.  There are **two ways to add** **events**: (1) **manually add them** using the dashboard event builder, or (2) **pull events from your Career Management System (CSM) such as Handshake, Symplicity, or 12Twenty** into the dashboard and then publish them. We'll first look at how to add them manually. ### Add an event manually:  1. Under the **Publish** tab in the left-hand side menu, hover over **Events** and select **Add New Event.** 2. **Fill in** the details of the event, such as the event title, start and end date, location, and a "learn more" URL, if applicable. 3. Next, indicate whether you'd like to collect [RSVP's **internally** or **externally**. ](https://support.gouconnect.com/articles/34129-manage-event-rsvps) **The internal RSVP** settingallows you to collect RSVP's from **within the uConnect site**. When a site visitor views an event, they will have the option to RSVP right from within the event page. The internal RSVP setting also **enables the option of sending of two emails to attendees**: (1) a **confirmation** email, sent immediately after they RSVP, and (2) a **reminder** email sent 24 hours before the event. Additionally, Internal RSVP setting allows you to display the names of attendees right on the event page. You can determine whether or not you want to activate confirmation and re  minder emails and whether you want to display attendees names only after clicking "Internal RSVP." Data on internal RSVPs is viewable in the dashboard. **The external RSVP** setting allows you to include a URL to collect RSVPs through an alternate system, such as your CSM (e.g., Symplicity), LinkedIn, or another website, such as EventBrite. The external RSVP setting gives you the option of displaying a button with unique text that links to RSVP site. This optional button setting appears only after clicking "External RSVP." Either the internal or external setting may be used; both cannot be used simultaneously.  [This article explains internal and external RSVPs in more depth. ](https://support.gouconnect.com/articles/34129-manage-event-rsvps) Next, Add the **event** **description**. Enhance the description using media such as images, gifs and emojis. ​ Showcase your event by adding a **featured image** and a logo. ![](https://support.gouconnect.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/event+logo+graphic-2.png) **Enter in** contact information. **Tag your event** accordingly. Remember that correctly tagging will ensure that users receive emails with the corresponding content to their alerts. **Preview**, select to **share on social channels** and click **Publish** when ready. ### Pull events from your Career Management System: We currently have integrations with Handshake, 12Twenty, and Symplicity and we manage all of the settings for the integrations in uConnect on your behalf - you cannot access them with the help of our support team.  For this, your CMS system **already needs to be integrated into your dashboard** by the uConnect team. As long as we form the integration, we can pull in events from any calendar on campus. Until your CMS  integration is complete, you will need to manually create events. If you have questions, [please reach out to our Support Team](https://share.hsforms.com/10AUHU9-DRi-Bw3fdB-SUYA8bok?form_link_page=Create%20events) about the status of your CMS integration.  Once an integration is set up with your CMS, events that are added in the CMS will be pulled automatically into the uConnect dashboard every 24 hours.  Depending on your integration settings, your events can be **auto-published,** so as soon as they are imported in to uConnect, they are published and you do not need to approve each one. If we did not enable auto-publishing for your integration, you can **monitor the events** entering your **Pending Events** list, add any necessary or missing media, and **take the final step** of publishing them.  ### Access and publish events pulled from your CMS: 1. Under the **Publish** tab in the left-hand side menu of your dashboard, hover over **Events** and select **Pending Events** 2. Review the list of pending events that have been imported from your CSM system and select the one you would like to post 3. **Review the information** that was imported from your CSM system and make any necessary changes.  4. **Tag your event** accordingly (remember that correctly tagging will ensure that users receive emails with the corresponding content to their alerts) 5. **Preview**, select to **share on social channels** and click **Publish** when ready​ - [Get Started](https://support.gouconnect.com/articles/get-started) - [AI Search](https://support.gouconnect.com/articles/ai-search) - [Analytics & Data](https://support.gouconnect.com/articles/analytics-data#main-content) - [Outcomes Data](https://support.gouconnect.com/articles/analytics-data#outcomes-data) - [Platform Analytics](https://support.gouconnect.com/articles/analytics-data#platform-analytics) - [Google Analytics](https://support.gouconnect.com/articles/analytics-data#google-analytics) - [Publish Content](https://support.gouconnect.com/articles/publish-content) - [Manage Your Communities & Content Categories](https://support.gouconnect.com/articles/manage-your-communities-content-categories#main-content) - [Communities](https://support.gouconnect.com/articles/manage-your-communities-content-categories#communities) - [Content Categories](https://support.gouconnect.com/articles/manage-your-communities-content-categories#content-categories) - [Manage Subscribers & Users](https://support.gouconnect.com/articles/manage-subscribers-users) - [Platform Design](https://support.gouconnect.com/articles/platform-design#main-content) - [Widgets](https://support.gouconnect.com/articles/platform-design#widgets) - [Block Editor (WordPress)](https://support.gouconnect.com/articles/platform-design#block-editor-wordpress) - [Menus](https://support.gouconnect.com/articles/platform-design#menus) - [Accessibility Hub](https://support.gouconnect.com/articles/accessibility-hub#main-content) - [Block Editor](https://support.gouconnect.com/articles/accessibility-hub#block-editor) - [Market Your Platform](https://support.gouconnect.com/articles/market-your-platform#main-content) - [Activation and Promotion Guides](https://support.gouconnect.com/articles/market-your-platform#activation-and-promotion-guides) - [Modules & Integrations](https://support.gouconnect.com/articles/modules-integrations#main-content) - [Outcomes Data Visualization](https://support.gouconnect.com/articles/modules-integrations#outcomes-data-visualization) - [Technical Configurations](https://support.gouconnect.com/articles/technical-configurations#main-content) - [Automated Subscriber Uploads (SIS)](https://support.gouconnect.com/articles/technical-configurations#automated-subscriber-uploads-sis) - [Product Updates](https://support.gouconnect.com/articles/product-updates) - [Customer Training Recordings](https://support.gouconnect.com/articles/customer-training-recordings) - [Candid Career+](https://support.gouconnect.com/articles/candid-career) - [General](https://support.gouconnect.com/articles/general)    [![uConnect Logo](https://s41911.pcdn.co/wp-content/uploads/logo-white.svg)](https://www.gouconnect.com/) - [Customers](https://www.gouconnect.com/customers/) - [Case Studies](https://www.gouconnect.com/customers/case-studies/) - [Client Directory](https://www.gouconnect.com/customers/client-directory/) - [Testimonials](https://www.gouconnect.com/customers/testimonials/) - [Product](https://www.gouconnect.com/product/) - [Use Cases](https://www.gouconnect.com/product/use-cases/) - [Integrations](https://www.gouconnect.com/product/integrations/) - [Become a Partner](https://www.gouconnect.com/company/partner/) - [Company](https://www.gouconnect.com/company/) - [Careers](https://www.gouconnect.com/company/careers/) - [News](https://www.gouconnect.com/company/news/) - [Status Page](https://status.gouconnect.com/) - [Career Everywhere](https://www.gouconnect.com/career-everywhere/) - [The Movement](https://www.gouconnect.com/career-everywhere/movement/) - [Community](https://www.gouconnect.com/career-everywhere/community/access/) - [Podcast](https://www.gouconnect.com/career-everywhere/podcast/) © 2026 uConnect Inc.
