Work Smarter with Hive Calendar & Backer Segments

Managing a campaign means working with different groups of backers, keeping track of conversations, and coordinating meetings with the people involved in your project.

Two Hive features make those everyday tasks easier: Hive Calendar brings scheduling directly into your Hive workspace while Backer Segments help you work with the right audience.

Hive Calendar: Make Scheduling Part of Your Workflow

Meetings are another part of running a project that can quickly become fragmented across emails, booking tools and calendars.

With Hive Calendar, you can create bookable events directly from Hive and share a booking page with creators, partners, suppliers, retailers, or anyone else you need to meet.

Each event can have its own availability, duration, booking rules, meeting type and custom questions, so an introductory call can work very differently from a fulfillment meeting or a convention pitch.

You can also decide whether a booking is confirmed instantly or requires approval, while Hive can handle confirmations, reminders, cancellations and rescheduling.

Connect Google Calendar to help avoid scheduling conflicts and create Google Meet links, or connect Zoom when that is your preferred meeting platform.

Share your availability, collect the context you need, and keep your meetings closer to the rest of your work.

Backer Segments: Find the Right Backers, Then Save the Audience

Campaigns rarely treat every backer exactly the same.

You may want to identify Early Birds, backers of a specific pledge, supporters from a particular country, people who selected certain add-ons, or even groups based on their survey answers.

With Backer Segments, you can combine those conditions and save them as a reusable audience.

The important part is that a segment is not a static list. Hive evaluates the rules against your current backer data whenever you use it, so the audience can stay relevant as your campaign progresses.

Once created, a segment can be reused across Hive to assign freebies, provide coupons or free shipping, and analyze that same audience through Statistics.

Instead of rebuilding the same filters again and again, you define the audience once and bring it into the workflow whenever you need it.
