Share Your Event | Crowdsource

After creating your event you can invite people to participate. You can share your event in the Share Pulse phase in the Event Builder.  

This article walks through:

• Share Your Event

Share Your Event

After launching your event, the Event Builder displays additional options in the left panel that you can use to invite people to the event and manage the event while it is active.

There are three ways to share your event:

• Email from the platform

• Distribute a generic link through your own email client

• Embed a widget on your intranet

You access each of the sharing options in the Share Pulse phase of the Event Builder.

Tabs at the top of the page provide access to each invite option.

Share Via Email

The Email option sends invites immediately and gives you flexibility to specify the sender, the audience, and the email subject and introduction.

From within the Event Builder:

1. Click Share Pulse in the left panel (the event must be active).

From Listen:

The Event Builder opens.

Share Via Link

The Link option provides a platform generated link you can copy and email to invitees. Since Crowdsource events are designed to be anonymous, the link is generic, meaning it is not tied to any employee records.

1. Click Share Pulse in the left panel (the event must be active).

From Listen:

Share Via Widget

The Widget option provides code you or your developers can embed on your intranet to display a widget employees can use to easily access the event. The widget displays the first question from your event (or the crowdsource question if that is the only question) and a Participate button that takes employees into the event.
