Events (Gancio)

Integrated with Gancio for self-hosted event management. When enabled, volunteer shifts are automatically published as public events. See Integrations for admin setup.

Looking for ticketed events?

If you're running events with paid, free, or donation-based tickets and need QR check-in, see Ticketed Events — that's a separate module from the Gancio calendar.

Shift-to-Event Sync

When GANCIO_SYNC_ENABLED=true, the platform:

  1. Creates a Gancio event whenever a new shift is published
  2. Updates the event if the shift time, location, or details change
  3. Deletes the event if the shift is cancelled

Sync uses OAuth authentication with the Gancio admin account.
