Meetup Integration
Why Guild?
Guild is a platform that has been meticulously crafted with communities at the forefront.
It's completely free! You can organize Events (in-person/online/both), list Presentations, and join Networks.
You can connect your events with others.
For example: Are you hosting a JavaScript event in your local town? With our Networks features, you can connect with organisers in other cities and promote your event across multiple places.
You can collect Donations and charge for Tickets. Guild charges a simple transaction fee of 5% on top of payment processing fees.
Features
This integration's purpose is to copy events from Meetup to Guild.
Meetup provides limited tooling for this purpose, and this is the only method of data export/integration possible short of an expensive Pro plan.
If you have a Meetup Pro plan and would like to register your interest in a tighter integration, let us know via email at hi@guild.host.
