We are excited to quickly give you the answers you need. Let’s walk through how to use this powerful new resource.
Getting started with Help Hub
All Event Calendar users can access Help Hub. First, go to Events → Help.

The TEC Help Hub will appear right on the page. There are prompted questions already written out for you to choose from, or you can send a message of your own.

When you type and send a message, the bot responds almost immediately. In this case, I asked how to add a ticket to an event. The bot pulled information from the documentation and answered my question, laying out a step-by-step guide.

Please note that to use Help Hub, you will have to opt in to Telemetry. Go to Events → Settings → General → Debugging and check the Opt in to Telemetry box. Then, hit Save Changes.

The live chat feature for premium users
All premium users have the ability to chat directly with a live agent. To start a chat, there is a Contact Support button in the Help Hub. If it is during our normal business hours, a live agent will assist you. Otherwise, you can fill out a form to connect with our team using our ticket system.

The benefits of Help Hub
There are countless reasons this new update can benefit you. If you are brand new to The Events Calendar, you can search about basic functionality and receive answers instantly, making the learning curve much easier. Or, if you host events infrequently and need a quick refresher on certain steps, Help Hub allows you to easily revisit processes you might not have used in months. For website developers, getting quick access to developer documents and code examples streamline workflows and saves time.
No matter who you are, Help Hub is a valuable tool right in your dashboard. We are excited to give our customers an even better event planning experience with this powerful new update.
