Publishing an event: what happens and who is told
Publishing a free or paid event makes it live immediately: it appears in the Events tab and on your profile (unless you made it private), followers who opted in are notified, and the venue is placed on the map. Submitting an external listing puts it into review first; it appears once the team approves it, usually within a day. Share the event page or a branded story card straight after, or post it on Wah Happening from the app.

Sharing after publishing
When you publish a free or paid event in the app, the next screen says Your event is live and offers two buttons. Share your event opens the share options below. Post it on Wah Happening opens a photo story with your event already linked, so you can post it to the community straight away; organisers with a business profile post without applying. See Creating a post.
Any time after that, open the event and tap Share. You can copy the link, share to WhatsApp, Messages and other apps, or post a branded 9:16 story card to Instagram Stories. External and Word of Mouth links are worded so they never promise tickets on TiketCaribbean. Your organiser profile link (tiketcaribbean.com/organisers/your-slug) is shareable too.
Where is my event on the website?
Events hosted on TiketCaribbean, free or paid, have full event pages on the website and in the app, and buyers can check out on either. External listings have full pages on both too.
