# Creating events

To create events you must have a **System scope** access token with full access to a company environment. You must have in hands the following query attributes: `tokenID` `companyID`, and the following body attributes: `name` and `nickname`.

* `name` is the Event name;
* `nickname` is the string that will be used in the browser URL to access the event;

#### Example

The endpoint that you should use is `company.event.bind` on RCP or `company/event/bind` on RESTful.

Here is how to create an event:

```sh
curl --request POST \
     --url 'https://api.inevent.com/?action=company.event.bind&companyID=YOUR_COMPANY_ID' \
     --header 'Accept: application/json' \
     --header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
     --data name=This%20is%20a%20test%20event&nickname=my-test-event-1632854490
```

If you want to copy data from a previous event you can use the `siblingID` query attribute with the previous `eventID` as the value.

If you want to create an event based on a template you can use the `templateID` query attribute with the id of the template as the value.

If you want this event to be a template you can use the `isTemplate` query attribute with `1` as the value. Templates have limited functionality and its purpose is only to create the bare essentials for your events.

#### Response

Once you create the event, you will get a response similar to the following one:

JSON

```json

  }]
}
```

The URL to access the event will then be the following:

* <https://inevent.com/en/YOUR_COMPANY_NICKNAME/my-test-event-163285449/>

Once the event is created, you can now manage it accessing the URL above or manage it entirely through the API.
