Overview

The community activity carousel highlights opportunities for members to engage with trending posts, upcoming and happening events, and courses in progress.

The carousel automatically cycles through the following content:

  1. Events happening now

  2. Trending thread posts

  3. Upcoming events

  4. Next lesson in a course

The carousel will only ever display content that the member already has access to via group membership or upsell.

Events happening now

This card displays events that are happening right now. Included is the event name, description, and how much time is left. Clicking the card will bring the member directly to the event location if using the "Zoom" or "Heartbeat" locations. If using a custom location for your event, clicking the card will take the member to the URL in the custom field, or the event page if the location is not a URL.

Trending thread posts

This card displays the post with the most comments in the last 4 days. The card includes the channel name, an excerpt of the post, and the number of total commenters. Clicking the card will bring a member to the post to read and engage with.

Upcoming events

Next lesson in a course

This card displays the next lesson a member needs to complete for a course they enrolled in. The card includes the lesson name, course name, and overall progress in the course. Clicking the card will bring a member directly to the lesson to complete.
