You can add events to the schedule, for example a party, meeting or sports event.
You can also create a post on the newsfeed, so team members can respond in the app to confirm whether they will be attending. More about it here.
How do you add an event to the schedule?
Web version
Navigate to 'Planning' in the main menu.
Use the 'Tools' button, or click '+Event' in the event row above the planned shifts:
Complete the fields, such as start and end time.
An event can only be created for one day, not for multiple days or a longer period of time.
Click 'Save' to publish your event.
Choose 'Create event' to make the event visible in your planning.
Choose 'Share in post' to post the event as a news update. When you select this option, more fields will appear regarding the news update.
⚠️ Note; Do you not see your event in the schedule? Check whether you have this show option selected under the 'Show' button in the top right corner.
In the app (new version from Nov 2025)
In the bottom left of the screen, use the clock icon.
Open the schedule and select the right day.
Use the + on top of your screen and choose 'Create event'.
The app does not offer the option to post the event on the newsfeed, this can only be done in the web version.
👉 Good to know: Public holidays are not used in Eitje yet, so they won't be displayed automatically on the schedule. We are working on this feature. In the meantime you could manually add holidays as an event to the planning. This will need to be done per dag, as multiple day events are not an option yet.
