Upcoming events

Show the next few events from your Squarespace events page, kept up to date on their own.

The Upcoming events block shows the next events from a Squarespace Events page. Add an event on your website and it appears on your tap page; once it’s over, it drops off.

  3. Paste the address with ?format=jsonIn the address box, paste it with ?format=json added to the end: https://yourchurch.org/events?format=json.
  4. Choose how manySet How many events (1 to 10) and your Time zone, so times show correctly.

Not on Squarespace? #

This block reads Squarespace events pages. If your events live somewhere else and that site has an RSS feed, try the RSS feed block instead.

If events don’t show #

  • Check that ?format=json is on the end of the address, with no spaces.
  • Open the events page in your browser and check it has upcoming events, not only past ones.
  • Under More options, keep Retry through public proxies if blocked ticked when the DoorStep page isn’t on the same Squarespace site as the events.
  • You can change the Loading message and Error message there too.

Still stuck? Ask whoever set up DoorStep for your church, and mention this article: Upcoming events.
