The Event Platform — Tickets, Check-In, and Everything Around the Day

Running an event has always meant stitching tools together: tickets on Eventbrite (minus their cut), RSVPs in a Google Form, a printed sign-in sheet at the door, and an evening spent afterward matching who paid on Venmo against who actually showed up.

That ends with this release. We just shipped the Event Platform — a complete, end-to-end way to run events inside OEASE, from the first announcement to the final thank-you email. It's free to use, and it's available to every organization today.

What It Does

Create an event, sell tickets, check guests in, and follow up afterward — all in one place, without exporting a spreadsheet or paying a per-ticket toll to a middleman. Free events stay completely free. When you sell paid tickets, money goes straight to your organization through Stripe.

What's Included

Build & promote

• Branded event pages — every event gets a clean public page in your organization's colors and logo, not ours. Share one link everywhere.
• Free and paid tickets — create multiple ticket types with their own prices, capacities, and on-sale windows.
• Promo codes, comps, and holds — run discount codes (including 100%-off), issue complimentary tickets, and hold seats for VIPs, staff, and special guests.
• Custom registration questions — collect exactly what you need from each attendee right at checkout.

Sell & get paid

• Secure checkout — powered by Stripe, with funds settling directly into your organization's account.
• Honest, itemized pricing — buyers see a clear breakdown of price, any service fee, and tax before they pay. No surprises at the final step.
• Optional sales tax — turn it on once for your whole organization or set it per event, and pull a tax report (with CSV export) when it's time to file.
• Branded ticket emails — each attendee receives their own ticket with a QR code and event details, designed to look great on a phone or printed out.

Run the day

• QR check-in — scan tickets at the door from any phone or laptop. No extra hardware, no app required.
• Door-staff links — hand a volunteer a single magic link and they can check people in without an account or any training.
• Walk-ins & instant search — sell at the door and find any attendee by name in seconds.
• Waitlists — automatically capture demand the moment an event sells out, so you never lose an interested guest.

Around the event

• Automatic reminders & follow-ups — pre-event reminders and post-event thank-you messages send themselves.
• Orders & attendee management — refund, comp, resend tickets, or cancel, all from one screen, with a clear and fair refund policy.
• Live analytics — watch ticket sales, revenue, and attendance update in real time.

Get Discovered at oes.events

The hardest part of an event usually isn't running it — it's getting new people to show up. Now every public OEASE event can appear on oes.events, a community discovery catalog where people browse by category and find what's happening near them. It's free reach for your events and new faces for your community. Your events also surface on your organization's bio page at oes.bio.

Honest Pricing

OEASE is free to run events on. If your events are free, you pay nothing — ever. When you sell paid tickets, a small service fee applies, and we show it plainly to buyers so it's never hidden in the total. You keep more of every ticket than you would on a typical ticketing platform.

Coming Soon: OEASE for iOS

We're putting the entire day-of toolkit in your pocket. The OEASE iOS app — now in final testing — lets you check attendees in with your phone's camera, run walk-ins and refunds from anywhere, and watch sales and attendance update live right on your Lock Screen. It's heading to the App Store soon.

Also in This Release

• Delete your account yourself — self-service account deletion with a clear 30-day window. Your data, your call.
• More ways to delegate — new built-in roles for Announcements, Time Polls, and Bio Pages, so you can hand the right people the right access without oversharing.
• A smoother admin — crop and adjust images before you upload them, and a new save bar that warns you before you leave a page with unsaved changes.
• Quietly more reliable — smoother background updates that keep the app fresh without interrupting your work.

Try It

Open Events in your OEASE admin at oease.app and your first event can be live in minutes — free events take just a few fields. Then see what communities everywhere are hosting at oes.events.

Bio Pages — A Branded Link-in-Bio for Every Organization

If your organization has been sending members to a Linktree, a Beacons page, or a manually-updated Notion doc just to share a few links — that workaround ends today.

We just shipped Bio Pages, a built-in link-in-bio tool inside every OEASE organization. Your page lives at oes.bio/your-handle, looks like your organization (not ours), and is completely free.

What It Does

Create a public-facing landing page with every important link in one place. Drop the URL into your Instagram bio, your TikTok profile, your email signature, your flyers — anywhere a single link has to do a lot of work for your community.

No third-party branding. No "upgrade to unlock." No data living in someone else's database.

What's Included

• Custom short URL — your page lives at oes.bio/your-handle, matching your organization's existing handle on the platform
• Three item types — standard links, section headers, and dividers to organize a long list into something readable
• Drag-to-reorder — arrange items in the order you want visitors to see them
• Pin to top — promote one item above the rest for time-sensitive announcements
• Scheduled visibility — set a start time, an end time, or both, and links auto-publish and auto-hide on schedule. Perfect for event sign-ups that should disappear after the event ends.
• Theme presets + custom colors — pick from curated themes or override with your organization's brand colors
• Up to 30 social links — Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Spotify, LinkedIn, X, and more, rendered as clean icons alongside your main links
• Live click analytics — page views, link clicks, top-performing links, and click-through rates for the last 7, 30, or 90 days, plus lifetime totals
• Cookieless privacy — no tracking cookies, no raw IP storage. We use a daily-rotating visitor hash (the same pattern Plausible and Fathom use) so you get unique-visitor counts without surveillance.
• Up to 100 items per page — more than enough for the busiest community calendar

Why We Built It

Every community organization we work with already had a link-in-bio somewhere — usually Linktree, sometimes a Notion page held together with hope. They all had the same problems:

• The page didn't belong to the organization. It belonged to the person who created the account.
• The branding was someone else's. Members tapped a link in your Instagram bio and landed on a page that said "linktr.ee."
• The analytics either didn't exist or lived behind a paywall.
• When the person who created the page graduated or stepped down, the password disappeared with them.

Bio Pages fix all of that by living natively inside your OEASE organization. The page belongs to the organization, not a person. Your admins manage it together. Leadership transitions don't break it. And every visitor sees your name and your branding — not ours.

Try It

Open Bio Page in your OEASE admin, add your first links, and the page is live at oes.bio/your-handle immediately. Replace whatever URL is in your Instagram bio right now and you're done.

Time Polls — Find the Best Meeting Time Together

Meeting scheduling is one of those workflows that looks simple on paper and breaks down the moment you try it with more than three people. We just shipped a fix: Time Polls, a built-in group availability tool that lives inside every OEASE organization.

What It Does

Create a poll in seconds. Pick either specific dates or recurring weekly slots, set a time range, and share a link. Anyone with the link paints their availability on a grid — click and drag, just like when2meet. As responses come in, OEASE builds a clear visual overview and ranks the best meeting times automatically.

No account needed to respond. No spreadsheets. No "reply-all with your availability" thread.

What's Included

• Two poll types — "Specific Dates" for one-off meetings on real calendar dates, or "Days of the Week" for recurring availability (every Mon/Wed/Fri 9–5, for example)
• Flexible granularity — 15, 30, or 60-minute slots
• Public share links — Secure, unique links with no login required to respond
• Drag-to-paint grid — desktop and mobile, with touch support
• Live results — a clear visual overview of everyone's availability plus a ranked list of the best meeting windows
• Smart suggestions — our system highlights time blocks where the most people are available, automatically prioritizing the best options when there's a tie
• Co-branded public pages — your organization's name and logo appear at the top, OEASE attribution in the footer
• Timezone aware — we handle the timezone conversions automatically so everyone sees the poll in their local time
• Update responses — respondents can revisit their link and change their availability at any time
• Auto-fill for members — logged-in OEASE users have their name and email pre-filled when opening a share link

Why We Built It

Every organization we work with was already using a separate tool for this — when2meet, Doodle, Calendly, LettuceMeet — and hitting the same frustrations:

• Data lived outside the organization
• No way to link a poll back to the people it was for
• Ugly public pages with no branding
• No permissions — anyone who leaked the link could delete the whole thing

Time Polls solve all of that by living natively inside OEASE. Polls belong to your organization. Results are visible to your admins. Respondents see your organization's branding, not a third-party logo. Guests can respond without accounts, but only admins can create or delete.

Try It

Head to Time Polls in your OEASE dashboard and click Create Poll. Share the link with your committee, your board, your team — anyone you need to find a time with.

If you've ever wasted an hour trying to book a meeting, this is for you.

OEASE Platform — Official Launch

After months of building, testing, and refining alongside real community leaders, the OEASE Platform is officially live at oease.app.

Everything below is available today, completely free, to any organization that needs it.

What's Available

Member Management

Full roster management with lifecycle tracking — from first contact to alumni. Bulk operations for status changes, department assignments, and tag management. Members are automatically linked to platform accounts by email, so there's no separate invitation step for people who already have an account.

Financial System

Simple finance tracking with dedicated funds, categories, and expense tracking. Record income and expenses, attach receipts, and generate reports — all without an accounting degree. Voided transactions (never deleted) preserve a complete paper trail. Monthly summaries are auto-generated on the first of every month.

Membership Subscriptions & Dues

Create subscription campaigns with multiple pricing tiers and collect dues through Stripe. Members receive payment links, pay securely online, and their membership status updates automatically. Payment receipts are sent by email. Campaigns auto-close after deadlines pass.

Announcements

Draft, schedule, and publish announcements to your entire organization or targeted groups — by department, team, or individual members. Emails are sent in the background with professional formatting and opt-in CC to members' additional email addresses.

Team Access Levels

Set exact access for who can view, edit, or manage different parts of your organization. Define custom roles — give your treasurer access to finances without exposing member data. You control exactly what every leader is allowed to see and change.

Organization Structure

Departments and teams with a two-level hierarchy. Assign members to multiple departments and teams. Cascade operations when restructuring.

Admin Team Management

Invite and manage your organization's admin team. Resend invitations, assign roles, and transfer ownership when leadership changes.

What's Next

The organization management system is live. Next, we're building the public-facing layer:

• Organization websites and link-in-bio pages
• Community discovery and public organization profiles
• Event management with ticketing and check-in
• Recruitment pipeline with AI-assisted screening

We'll keep shipping. The changelog will keep updating.

New OEASE Website — Our Story, Our Mission

The OEASE platform has been rebuilt from the ground up. It was time the website caught up.

What's New

We launched a completely new website at oease.net — designed to clearly communicate our mission, our values, and what the platform does for community organizations.

• New homepage with a clear value proposition and honest messaging about the problems OEASE solves
• About page telling the real story — from a college dorm room to a platform serving organizations across the country
• Pricing page that makes one thing clear: OEASE is free, and we mean it
• Blog with articles on the challenges community leaders face and how we think about solving them
• Documentation for organizations getting started with the platform
• Changelog (you're reading it) to keep our community informed about what we're building and why

Why This Matters

A website isn't just marketing. For the organizations we serve — and the leaders discovering us for the first time — it's often the first impression of what OEASE stands for.

We wanted that impression to be honest. No buzzwords, no inflated promises. Just a clear explanation of who we built this for, why it's free, and what we believe: that technology should liberate human connection, not complicate it.

OEASE Platform v2 — Rebrand & Complete Rebuild

What started as "OEASE OMS" — an organization management system — has evolved into something much bigger. OEASE Platform v2 is a complete rebrand and rebuild, reflecting a broader vision: a unified ecosystem where community organizations can manage operations, engage their members, and grow their impact — all in one place.

Why the Rebrand

The original OEASE OMS served organizations well for internal management. But the organizations we work with need more than a back-office tool. They need a platform that handles operations, public presence, recruitment, finance, and community engagement together — not as separate products bolted onto each other.

The name change from "OMS" to "Platform" reflects that shift. OEASE is no longer just a management system. It's the operational backbone and public face of your organization.

What's New in v2

Every line of code has been rewritten. The highlights:

• Redesigned interface — clean, fast, and fully responsive. Dark mode built in as a first-class experience.
• AI-powered features for recruitment screening, content generation, and event planning — handling repetitive work so your team can focus on people.
• Simple finance tools powered by Stripe for payments, budget pockets, and campaign management.
• Team access levels with custom roles and specific permissions.
• Instant professional website — every organization gets an auto-generated site and link-in-bio page.
• Recruitment pipeline with custom forms, interview scheduling, and AI candidate scoring.
• Department hierarchy with nested teams and committees.
• Background automation for membership expirations, campaign deadlines, and payment cleanup.
• Completely free — every feature, every organization, no cost.

The Mission Behind the Rebuild

In an increasingly AI-driven world, the value of real human connection has never been higher. OEASE exists to remove every barrier between passionate leaders and the impact they're meant to make.

We automate the busy work — the admin that burns out the people who care the most — so humans can focus on what technology cannot replace: empathy, shared experiences, and the deep connections that bring communities together.

That's not just the philosophy behind v2. It's the reason we started over.
