A recurring event is a class or session that repeats on a schedule, such as "Adult BJJ, Tuesdays and Thursdays at 6pm". Dyno creates every session in the series up front, up to about a year ahead. Each session is its own event that members book separately.

Create the series

  1. Open Events and click New Event.
  2. Enter an Event Title and a Description.
  3. Under Schedule, click Recurring event.
  4. Choose how often it Repeats: Weekly, Fortnightly or Monthly.
  5. For weekly or fortnightly, pick one or more days under On days. Picking Tuesday and Thursday creates both sessions in one go. For monthly, pick the First session date. It then repeats on the same date each month.
  6. Set the Start time and End time.
  7. Set Starts on (weekly and fortnightly) and Repeat until. The series can run for up to 12 months from its start.
  8. Check the summary line under the schedule, which describes the series in words.
  9. In the Details panel, set the Capacity and, if you want one, the Cancellation cutoff (hours). These apply to every session.
  10. Set Access and Event Pricing the same way as for a one-off event. See Create an event.
  11. Click Create Event.

The sessions appear on your Events list and Calendar, and members can book them in the Dyno app.

Who can book, and when

  • Membership Access, Group Access, Allowed Passes and Invite only work exactly as they do for a one-off event. See Create an event.
  • Event Pricing lets you charge members and non-members different prices, or make a session free for members.
  • Your owner and team can book any session without holding a membership.

By default, every session you publish can be booked straight away. To stop members booking months ahead, set a booking window:

  1. Open Settings and choose General.
  2. Under Booking window, enter a number in Members can book up to (days ahead).
  3. Click Save booking window.

Sessions further out still show in the app, with the date booking opens. You can give a membership extra days on top of the window, so you can sell early booking as a perk. Your team can book members in outside the window.

Cancellation cutoff

  • 0 or blank: members can cancel a session any time until it starts.
  • Above 0: members cannot cancel within that many hours of the start. Their place stays booked.

A member who cancels a paid booking before the cutoff is refunded in full automatically. The freed place goes to the first person on the waitlist. See How waitlists work.

Change or cancel the series

  1. Open any session from Events and click Edit Event.
  2. Make your changes.
  3. Click Update event to change only this session, or Update series to change every session in the series.

Once a series has started or has bookings, its start date is fixed.

To cancel, open a session and use Cancel This Event for that one session, or Cancel Entire Series for every session. Everyone booked is notified. This cannot be undone.
