I've been sharing events with this template:
This has the benefit that you get the whole event-embed included with the post, including the "✓ Interested"-button - like the bottom message in the image below - but the generated Discord event-link is short lived and invalidates in less than a week. The relative timecode is from https://r.3v.fi/discord-timestamps/, and useful for showing the local time like the events do.
The alternative is to use the format
Notice that the top link fails, but looked identical to the bottom one a week ago. This is presumably because
A backup-solution is to link to
What are your experiences with sharing events? I thought I had got my head around the correct format for the ideal link, that links directly to the event and falls back to the server after the event is over, but clearly not.

The alternative is to use the format
https://discord.gg/[PERMANENT-ID]?event=[EVENT-ID]
, which keeps the server-invite even past the expiry date of the event. Like this:Notice that the top link fails, but looked identical to the bottom one a week ago. This is presumably because
EDCWYjZy
is the temporary link generated by Discord for this event, whereas UVzSQNBPm8
is the permanent link to the server that https://www.helloclan.eu/discord/join
resolves to. When creating events, be sure to set the location to Somewhere else and use "https://www.helloclan.eu/discord/join", as a voice channel breaks the Discord.gg-link.A backup-solution is to link to
https://www.helloclan.eu/discord/join
instead and include the event-picture as an attachment, but you don't get the embed. Also you cannot attach an image when editing a message on Discord after initially posting it. A template for this would be:Come join HelloClan for aEVENT TYPE

, and join HelloClan's Discord onhttps://www.helloclan.eu/discord/join
to RSVP.
