How to set up a virtual event platform in Adalo?

Step 1: Sign Up or Log In to Adalo

Head over to the Adalo website (www.adalo.com). If you’re new, sign up for an account. If you already have one, just log in. Follow any onboarding steps to get to the main dashboard.

Step 2: Create a New Project

On the Adalo dashboard, hit the "Create New App" button. Decide if you want a "Native Mobile App" or a "Desktop Web App" based on where you want your virtual event platform to be available.

Step 3: Choose a Template

Pick a template that fits the virtual event platform you have in mind. If you can’t find one that’s just right, go with a blank template and build it from scratch.

Step 4: Add Key Screens

Add the essential screens for your virtual event platform. Common ones include:

  • Home Screen: Overview of the event
  • Event Schedule: List of sessions with times and descriptions
  • Speakers: Info about speakers, including bios and session details
  • Registration and Login: Let users sign up or log in
  • Live Stream or Virtual Room: Integrate video conferencing tools like Zoom or YouTube Live
  • Networking: Enable chat features, forums, or networking rooms for attendees

Step 5: Design the UI

Use Adalo's drag-and-drop interface to design the user interface for each screen. Add buttons, text fields, images, and other elements to match your brand and event theme.

Step 6: Configure User Data

Set up databases to store user information, event schedules, and other necessary data. Go to the "Database" tab, add collections like Users, Events, and Messages, and define their properties.

Step 7: Set Up Navigation

Make sure users can easily navigate between the different screens of your virtual event platform. Use the "Link" action to connect buttons and icons to the desired screens.

Step 8: Implement User Authentication

To manage user access, add Sign Up and Login features. Drag the "Form" component to your Registration and Login screens and set the form type to either Sign Up or Login.

Step 9: Incorporate a Live Stream

Integrate a live stream using Adalo's custom actions or external plugins. For example:

  • Embed YouTube Live: Use the WebView component and embed the live stream URL.
  • Integrate with Zoom: Use APIs to link to Zoom meetings directly from your app.

Step 10: Add Networking Features

Enable chat or messaging features to let attendees network:

  • Use the "Chat" component to add real-time messaging.
  • Set up forums or discussion boards using lists and forms.

Step 11: Test Your Application

Use Adalo’s preview function to test all user flows and features. Check for any bugs or user experience issues and make necessary adjustments.

Step 12: Publish Your App

Once testing is complete, publish your app. Use Adalo’s built-in publishing tools to deploy your app to app stores or share as a web app.

Keep an eye on user feedback and make updates as needed to ensure your virtual event platform is a hit.
