Relevant Events Block

The Relevant Events Block allows you to highlight targeted events in specific sections of your Vepple experience. By assigning an event to a specific section with a relevant events block, you ensure that the most appropriate content is displayed to the right audiences in the right place. This block provides flexible tools to control which events appear, how they're styled, and who sees them. How to Set It Up

3. You’ll see a list of all sections where the event can be assigned. Tick any sections that have a Relevant Events block.
4. Just below, in your filter panel, select the audiences you want this event to appear for, this needs to match the filters for the section side (see below).

Best Practices & Use Cases

• Use multiple blocks on one page to surface different event types (e.g. one for Scheduled, another for On Demand).
• Set clear headings like “Upcoming Open Days” or “Catch Up Anytime” to guide the user.
• Keep the number of displayed events concise (3–6 recommended) to avoid visual overload.

FAQs & Troubleshooting

• Why is the block empty on the frontend
  • Check if the assigned event type matches (Scheduled vs On Demand).
  • Confirm the filter settings match the current user's context.
  • Ensure events are assigned correctly in the event editor and have valid dates.
• Why is only one event showing even though I selected more?
  • The block will only show events that match the filter and assignment criteria.
  • Check that the card limit hasn't been reached and that enough qualifying events exist.
