Your first event on Cloomba

Updated 10 Jun 2026

Getting your first event live takes about five minutes. Here is how it works from start to finish.

1. Create an account

Go to cloomba.com and sign in. Cloomba uses passwordless sign-in — enter your email address and we send you a magic link. You can also sign in with Google, Apple, or GitHub. No password to create or forget.

2. Create your event

From any page, click Create event (or find it in the navigation menu). Fill in the basics:

  • Title — what is your event called?
  • Date and time — when does it start and end?
  • Location — an address for in-person events, a link for online events, or both for hybrid.
  • Description — tell people what to expect. You can format this with headings, bullet points, and links.
  • Cover image — a good image makes a big difference. Use something that represents the event.

3. Choose your visibility

Decide who can see your event:

  • Public — listed on Cloomba and findable by anyone.
  • Unlisted — not listed anywhere, but anyone with the direct link can RSVP. Good for sharing within a specific group.
  • Private — only people you have explicitly invited can see and access the event.

You can change this at any time before and after publishing.

4. Set up tickets (optional)

If your event is free, you are done with this step — free events need no ticket configuration.

For paid events, set a price. Cloomba handles payment collection through Stripe. You will need to connect a Stripe account the first time you create a paid event.

5. Publish

When you are happy with the details, hit Publish. Your event page is now live.

6. Invite people

Share your event link anywhere — social media, messaging apps, email. If you want to invite specific people directly, go to your event's guest list and send invitations by email, phone, or Cloomba username.

What happens next

As people RSVP or buy tickets, they appear in your guest list. You can message everyone at once using event updates, see who has checked in on the day, and export the full list as a CSV whenever you need it.

That is the full loop. Everything else — co-hosts, waitlists, approval gates, media walls — builds on top of this foundation.
