Get started with Event Planner

In about 5 minutes you'll install Event Planner and plan your first events on a Confluence page or a Jira work item.

Before you begin

• To install the app, you need to be a site admin, or a Confluence admin or Jira admin. If you aren't one, ask your admin to install it, then start at Add your first calendar.
• To add a calendar, you need permission to edit the Confluence page, or the Edit work items permission in the Jira space.

Install the app

The Confluence and Jira apps are separate Marketplace listings. Install the one for each product you use:

• Event Planner for Confluence
• Event Planner for Jira

1. In Confluence or Jira, select Apps > Explore more apps.
2. Search for Event Planner, then select the Apportunity app for your product.
3. Select Get app (or Try it free) and follow the prompts.

When the installation finishes, the app works for everyone on the site. There's nothing to configure.

Add your first calendar

Confluence

1. Open a page and select Edit.

2. Type /event planner and select Event Planner.
