Unlisted events
An unlisted event is not quite public, but not really a big secret either. It’s similar to what you might remember as an unlisted phone number (if you’re old enough to remember what a phone book looks like!). When you mark your event as unlisted, Grenadine will no longer include your event links in event directories. This means that you will need to send out a link to your event to the audiences that should see it. Unlisted event links in Grenadine look like this:https://sites.grenadine.co/sites/abc-company/abc-world-forum-2017
No search engine indexing for unlisted events
Because your event is unlisted, Grenadine tries to limit the presence of your data on search engines. For this, our system inserts a special HTML meta tag (the “noindex nofollow” meta tag) on each page of your event website. This meta tag instructs Google, Bing and other search engines to refrain from indexing your site’s contents, which means that your Grenadine event website will not appear in Google or Bing search results. This can be useful when you’re trying to keep your event schedule and lists of speakers out of the public domain, at least until you’re ready to send it out.Private events
A private event is more exclusive and more “hidden” than an unlisted event. When you create a private event, Grenadine will give your event a special link that contains a secret (less guessable) token as part of the link. For example, a private event could have the following website URL:https://sites.grenadine.co/sites/abc-company/abc-world-forum-2017?token=n9iNmJCDSmpxVE9CXAfAsQ
Private events are reserved for registered guests
If you send out a link to your private event, what can people do with the link? They can see the following things:- They can see the home page (including the date, location and description of your event)
- Then can see the registration section (so they can register)
- They can see the login page (so, you know, they can actually log in if they are registered)
- They can see your contact email, so they can contact you if they are lost and don’t know what to do
