# Getting Started with the Cobu Dashboard

## Quick Guide for Property Teams: The Cobu Dashboard is where you manage events, see resident engagement activity, and track how your community is using the app. This guide covers the basics to get started.

#### How to access the dashboard

Go to:  
[app.livecobu.com](http://app.livecobu.com)

Log in with the email you were invited with.

If you need access, contact  
customersuccess@livecobu.com

#### What the dashboard is used for

Property teams use the dashboard to:

- Post events in advance for residents
- See who RSVP’d
- View the resident chat feed
- Post or share updates/photos in the feed
- Check adoption and engagement

---

#### Creating an event

1. Log in to the dashboard
2. Click **Add New Event**
3. Enter the event details
4. Save

Tip:  
You can use **Duplicate** to copy a previous event instead of creating a new one. You can use **Add From Template** for Event Inspiration/Ideas for your next event.

#### RSVP settings

Residents should RSVP in the app. Encouraging residents to RSVP in the app is a best practice across Cobu communities.

**Why we ask residents to RSVP in Cobu**

RSVPs help keep residents active in the app and aware of what’s happening in the community. RSVP activity is also a strong sign that a community is gaining traction. As a general benchmark, events that receive **10 or more RSVPs** are typically a healthy signal that residents are engaged and aware of what’s happening on property.

When residents RSVP, they receive reminders, attendance increases, and more people stay engaged with events and conversations.

Communities that consistently drive RSVPs typically see:

- Higher event turnout
- More activity in the app
- More positive reviews
- Stronger resident satisfaction

Even for open events, asking residents to RSVP helps keep the community active.

#### Viewing RSVPs

To see who is attending:

1. Open **Gatherings**
2. Select the event
3. Click **View RSVPs**

You can see:

- Who is attending
- Who is interested
- Total count

This is helpful before the event to plan setup, food, or supplies.

#### Viewing past events and feedback

You can review previous events in **Past Gatherings**.

This allows you to:

- See attendance
- Read feedback (if submitted)
- Reuse past events

You can also duplicate past events to save time.

---

#### Posting updates to residents

You can post messages in the feed from the dashboard.

Most teams use this to:

- Share announcements or photos from previous events
- Share any important updates

#### Tips for using the dashboard

- Add events as early as possible
- Ask residents to RSVP in the app
- Check RSVPs before events
- Check the building chat from time to time to understand what themes/topics are important to your residents

You do not need to manage the dashboard every day.
