Seamlessly extending WordPress event management with smarter workflows.
We developed a custom UPE plugin as an add-on to the widely used Modern Event Calendar WordPress plugin for the UPE event management platform. The goal was to extend core functionality by enabling user invitations for events and allowing event organizers to create events directly from FullCalendar views (month, week, and day).

Backend
