Create a Virtual Pop-Up

What are Virtual Pop-ups?


Use this feature to host your party in an off-Facebook location. There are several benefits, such as:

  • Reach customers who do not use Facebook.
  • You aren't bound to Facebook's guidelines and limitations.
  • No more 'Facebook Jail!'
  • Obtain your guests' contact information, useful for easy follow-up.
  • Posts publish automatically, without the use of the Chrome extension.



You can watch the full video tutorial below or continue reading for written instructions.





Create a Virtual Pop-up party


From the PostMyParty menu, select Parties, then click the New Party button.



Step 1) Get Started


  • Select the Virtual Pop-up option. Click Next Step to continue.




Step 2) Details


  • Enter the party name. This will be seen by the party guests.



Step 3) Start Date & Time


  • Select the Start Date


This would be the Date you want your Day 1 posts to begin posting on.


  • Select the Timezone you want your posts to follow.


For example: Let's say my template begins with a Day 1, 8am post. But my party guests are in a timezone 3 hours behind me. If I select their timezone here, it will post at 8am for them, but 11am my time. This will save you from having to manually update each post for each individual time zone.



Step 4) Template


  • Choose the template you want to schedule from the dropdown box provided. This will schedule all posts from that template to this party.


If you do not want any template posts scheduled to this party, un-check the Copy Posts option.




Possible next step) Tokens


If the template you had selected in Step 4 contained tokens, you will be required to fill in their replacements here.


Note: If you do not receive this Replacement Token step, you can continue along to the final step further down this tutorial.


This step would look similar to the image below:



What you enter in these fields will be used in place of the corresponding tokens in your posts. The image above is just an example of how they can be used.

If you're not sure of how tokens were used to know what to enter here, I would recommend taking a moment to look over your template to give you more context in which they were used.


And if you're very unfamiliar with how tokens work, learn more here.



Final Step) Confirm


  • Review the details to be certain they are correct.
  • Click Preview Posts to see all posts that will be scheduled to this party.
  • Scroll to the bottom and click Confirm & Schedule




Your pop-up is now created! 🎉


You'll next be prompted to customize your RSVP settings, which is the page your guests will be greeted with when visiting the link to your pop-up.


Continue to the guide below, and we'll walk you through those steps!
