Run live classes with group sessions

Use group sessions for live workshops, cohort classes and webinars, with booking, reminders and join links built in.

Not every class is a recorded course. Sygil makes live teaching easy to attend: a group session is a vault item where fans book a seat on a specific date, receive a reminder and a calendar invite, and join from their Activity when the class starts.

Why use group sessions for live classes

  • Fans book and pay in one flow. No separate registration form.
  • Seats are capped (2 to 1,000), which creates urgency.
  • The meeting link is private until 15 minutes before start, so only paying fans get in.
  • Reminders and calendar invites go out automatically.
  • If you cannot run it, you cancel the session and every attendee is refunded in one click.

Set up a live class

  1. 1

    Create a Call / Session item

    Choose Group session.

  2. 2

    Set seats

    For example 40 seats per session.

  3. 3

    Add dates

    Add each class as a session. A weekly class is just a list of dates.

  4. 4

    Add a link

    A Zoom or Google Meet link. Use a different link per session if you prefer.

  5. 5

    Price it

    Typically ₹99 to ₹499 for a workshop, more for a multi-week programme.

  6. 6

    Share it

    Announce with a countdown story and an Auto-DM keyword.

Live plus recorded

Live classes and recorded content work well together.
