Create the event before you arrive
Name the night, add dates, and set a contact goal if you want one. Make it active so new captures land in the right place.

05Events & follow-ups
Give the night
a home.
Create the event before you walk in. Capture people into it. Afterward, open who still needs a follow-up, set a reminder, and mark it sent.
BEFORE AND AFTER
Before the door. Through the week.
Events hold everyone you meet that night. Follow-ups are the list of who you said you would reconnect with. Together they turn a busy room into a week you can finish.
Capture into that event
Voice notes and scans save to the active event. Switch events when you move to the next room or the next day.
Work the follow-up list
See who is still open, followed up, or cold. Set a reminder, send the hello, and mark it done so the list clears.

THE SMALL THINGS ADD UP
People stay with the night
Find who you met by the event, not by digging through a flat contact list.
A list you can clear
To follow up, followed up, cold. Reminders and a daily nudge keep the week moving.
Progress you can see
Track replies and outcomes you log, against the contact goal you set for the event.
Good questions.
A little more about Events & follow-ups.
Can I organise contacts by event?
Yes. Capture people into your active event, then use event filters to focus on that room or view all your contacts.
Does Orbit automatically read my inbox?
The launch workflow uses the activity and statuses recorded in Orbit. It is not an inbox monitoring service. Keep your follow-up and reply statuses current to make your progress useful.
How many events can I create?
Free includes two events and up to 25 contacts. Pro includes unlimited contacts and events.
Can I move my contacts into my CRM?
Yes, on Pro. Export one event or your whole network from People as a formatted Excel spreadsheet, a CSV that imports into HubSpot, Salesforce, and Pipedrive, or a vCard for your phone's contacts.
Can I set a reminder after I meet someone?
Yes. Set a reminder from a contact, from a few seconds later to weeks ahead. A daily nudge can keep the habit going.
For conversations
worth remembering.
Be there for it. Let Orbit help you remember, follow through, and keep the relationship.
