If your group runs on Meetup, the WR-Games Meetup integration keeps your events in sync without manual copy-paste. Once linked, Meetup events mirror into WR-Games automatically — your local community can browse them, get notified when their games are on the table, and RSVP without leaving WR-Games (depending on your mode).

​
Linking Your Group to Meetup

1

Open Group Manage → Integrations

Go to your group, tap Manage, then select the Integrations tab.
2

Enter your Meetup group URL

Paste your Meetup group’s URL (e.g. meetup.com/your-group-name). WR-Games validates the slug and begins the initial sync.
3

Choose your RSVP mode

Pick Link-out or Side-by-side (see below). You can change this later.

​
RSVP Modes

The mode you choose determines where RSVPs live and what attendees see.
“Attending via Meetup” appears in both modes. In link-out, it is the only attendee surface — the native WR-Games attendees panel is hidden. In side-by-side, it shows read-only alongside the native list. Either way, the two lists never merge.
Which mode to choose:
  • Link-out if Meetup is your authoritative RSVP source and you don’t want headcount split across two platforms.
  • Side-by-side if you want to capture WR-Games-native RSVPs from people who aren’t on Meetup, while still showing Meetup attendance alongside.

​
Sync Cadence

Mirrored events update automatically about every 15 minutes — an event’s title, time, and description stay current on their own. A few changes don’t come through automatically and need a manual Refresh from Meetup (below): a cancellation where the organizer leaves the event listed on Meetup, plus venue or cover changes made after the event first mirrored.

​
Refresh from Meetup

The Refresh from Meetup button on the Integrations card re-polls the Meetup feed immediately and re-enriches mirrors from the Meetup event page. Use it when you’ve updated something on Meetup and don’t want to wait for the next automatic sync.
  • Cooldown: 60 seconds between refreshes.
  • Cover image: Overwrites a Meetup-sourced cover with whatever is current on Meetup. If you’ve uploaded your own cover through WR-Games, it is never overwritten.
  • Venue, map, and cancel status always refresh regardless of how they were last set.

​
What You Can Edit on a Mirror

Meetup controls certain fields on mirrored events — changes you make on WR-Games to those fields get overwritten on the next sync. Other fields are yours to set directly.

​
Sync Health

The Integrations card shows the current health of your Meetup connection: Other error states may appear if the feed is temporarily unreachable. Waiting for the next automatic sync or tapping Refresh from Meetup resolves most transient issues.

​
Unlinking

Unlinking stops all future syncing. Before you confirm, WR-Games asks what to do with upcoming mirrored events — you can cancel them or leave them frozen as-is. Cancelling notifies native WR-Games RSVPs; Meetup attendees on the “Attending via Meetup” list are not emailed. Past mirrors are always retained.
Go to Group Manage → Integrations → Disconnect Meetup to unlink.

​
What Members See

Members don’t configure anything — here’s how mirrored events appear to them. “via Meetup” badge — shown on event cards and detail pages so it’s clear the event originated on Meetup. RSVPs and CTAs depend on mode and event status:
  • Future/published event in link-out → “RSVP on Meetup” opens Meetup directly.
  • Future/published event in side-by-side → native WR-Games RSVP as normal.
  • Past or cancelled event in either mode → “View on Meetup.”
“Attending via Meetup” list — shown on every mirror in both modes. It includes a last-synced timestamp and a note that guest counts may be understated (Meetup’s API doesn’t always surface full guest totals). Auto-cancel: A mirror is cancelled automatically only when Meetup’s feed positively reports a cancellation. A failed or blocked fetch never triggers an auto-cancel. Sync note: Mirror detail pages display “Event details sync automatically from Meetup.” so members know edits happen on the Meetup side.
