6 Tips to Get the Most Out of Your Association’s Shared Calendar with Joynit

Managing an association means juggling events, meetings, and communication between members. Joynit’s shared calendar makes this easier with powerful features designed for nonprofits of all sizes. Here are six tips to get the most out of it.

1. Choose the Right Visibility for Your Association

On joynit.fr, you can choose from three visibility levels: Public, Private, or Professional.

  • Public community: Perfect if you want your calendar open to everyone. Anyone can view it easily, without creating an account or entering a password. You can even embed the shared calendar directly into your association’s website using Joynit’s iframe code.
  • Private community: A balanced option. Users can either join by creating an account or simply view the shared calendar with a password you provide.
  • Professional community: Best for strict control. Members must create an account, with email validation approved by an administrator before accessing the shared calendar.

2. Invite Members via Your Referral Link

The referral link is the easiest way to invite members to your shared calendar. It contains a personalized code that lets users register and instantly join your association’s community.

Once registered, they immediately see all the events in your shared calendar. You can copy the link from your admin dashboard and share it by email, WhatsApp group, or however you prefer.

Tip: Personalize your community profile by adding a cover image, logo, contact email, address, and website. These details appear in invitation and confirmation emails, reassuring members they’re in the right place.

3. Save Time by Duplicating Events

Do you organize recurring activities (like weekly training sessions for a sports club)? Joynit lets you duplicate an event up to 5 times in just a few clicks. A huge time-saver for repeated scheduling.

4. Send a Newsletter with Your Next 10 Events

Joynit can automatically send a newsletter with your association’s next 10 events. This is an excellent way to keep members informed with clear, regular updates about upcoming activities.

5. Use the Community Chat to Share Key Information

Each Joynit community comes with its own built-in chat, visible to all members. It’s ideal for posting important announcements.

Admins can even restrict posting rights if needed. Explore the settings to configure the chat and calendar to your association’s exact needs.

6. Create Polls in Events

Need to schedule the next board meeting? Add a date poll directly to an event. Members can vote for their preferred date, and once voting closes, the event is automatically updated with the final choice.

Interactive events make planning smoother and more collaborative.
