How Do I Set a Custom URL for My Event?
By default, your event page uses a random code (e.g., chivent.com/e/a8f3k2 ). With a custom URL, you can set a readable name like chivent.com/e/sarah-and-toms-wedding .
How to Set It Up
- Go to your event dashboard and open Settings
- Click the Custom URL tab
- Enter your desired URL slug
- The system checks availability in real-time
- Click Save
URL Requirements
- Lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens only
- Must be between 3 and 50 characters
- Must start and end with a letter or number (not a hyphen)
- Must be unique — no two events can share the same slug
Good to Know
- Your original random code link still works after setting a custom URL — both point to the same event
- You can remove or change your custom URL at any time
- Custom URLs are easier to guess than random codes — if privacy matters, consider keeping the default or adding password protection
- This is a paid feature — available on eligible plans
