Creating a Community
YeahApp gives you one workspace where events, member data, and payments live together. This guide walks you through everything from creating your community to getting your first admins through the door.
Before you start
You need a YeahApp account. If you don't have one yet, sign up at the login page — it takes about a minute.
Step 1: Fill in your community details
Once you're logged in, look for the option to create a new community. You'll be asked to fill in a few things:
- Community name — what members will see
- Web address — your unique URL slug (e.g.
yeahapp.co/your-community). This has to be unique across the platform, so if your first choice is taken, you'll get an error and can try another. - Description — a short summary of what your community is about
- Cover image — optional, but worth setting early
When you're happy with the details, click Create Community.
If the web address you chose is already taken, you'll see an error message. Pick a different slug and try again.
Step 2: Your community is live
The moment your community is created, you're automatically given full admin access. No extra steps needed — you're the owner, which means you have complete control over settings, members, events, and plugins.
What "full admin access" actually means:
- Manage members and their roles
- Create and publish events
- Set up membership plans and ticketing
- Configure plugins (Events, Forms, Ticketing, Membership, Analytics)
- Access community settings and analytics
Step 3: Invite your admins
You probably don't want to run everything alone. Head to the Members section and invite your team.
- Go to Members
- Enter the email addresses of the people you want to invite
- Set their role to Admin
- Click Send Invitations
The system saves each invitation and sends an email to every address. You can invite multiple people at once.
Roles at a glance: YeahApp has three community-level roles. Admins get full community control. Moderators can manage events, forms, and members but can't touch settings or plugins. Members can join events, submit forms, and post content.
Step 4: What the invited admin sees
Here's what happens on the other side of that invitation email.
If they already have a YeahApp account: They click the link in the email, see the invitation with your community details, and choose to accept or decline.
If they don't have an account yet: The link takes them to a sign-up screen. Once they create their account, they land on the invitation page and can accept from there.
When someone accepts, they're immediately added to your community as Admin. If they decline, the invitation closes — you can always send another later.
Your community is ready
Once your first admins are on board, you have a functioning workspace. From here you can:
- Create your first event — set it as draft while you're still setting things up, then publish when you're ready
- Set up membership plans — if you want to charge recurring dues, head to Memberships and enable the plugin first
- Build a registration form — attach it to an event to start collecting member data automatically
- Configure ticketing — for paid events, connect Stripe and create ticket types
