How to Set Up Curated Local Events Integration on Your HootBoard

Our Curated Local Events integration, powered by Yodel AI, automatically brings local events to your HootBoard, posting them as Hoots to keep your community in the loop about what’s happening nearby. This feature syncs real-time event data from Yodel’s AI event calendar, making it easy to share vibrant, local happenings with your audience.

Tips for Success

• Choose a Relevant Location: Pick a location central to your audience to ensure the events are meaningful to them.

• Adjust the Radius Thoughtfully: A smaller radius (e.g., 5-10 miles) is great for hyper-local events, while 20 miles can capture broader community happenings.

• Use Collections for Organization: Group events into collections to make it easier for your audience to find what interests them.

• Play with Colors: The random color option adds visual flair, but a consistent color can align with your brand’s look.
