Add event badges based on your event data to highlight urgency, promotions, or featured picks. For example, show the number of tickets left for limited ticket events or label a headline show with a short promotional message. Once you set up and activate an event badge function, it automatically reviews each event and outputs a single badge when your conditions are met. The badge appears on your event lists and event pages and follows your site design.
The current event badge templates include a number of tickets left badge and a custom text badge. This article gives you step by step instructions for setting up each template. You can also create a function from scratch and add your own custom logic.
