# Meetup Group & Event Monitor - Schedules and Changes — workflow

## Choose this tool

Collect group and public event observations for community research and event planning with dates, venues and aggregate source counts.

Useful output columns: `eventId`, `title`, `startDate`, `timeZone`, `eventStatus`, `goingCount`, `groupMemberCount`, `scheduleChanged`, `comparisonStatus`.

## Practical workflow

Provide known group or event URLs, inspect the bounded event selection, then save a comparison baseline. Check event dates and venues at the source before using the output in a calendar or briefing.

## Check the fit

Public group/event windows only, no complete event history, member or attendee records, private groups or booking availability guarantee. Counts are source-reported snapshots.

## Real output sample

One selected row from a 2026-11-06 run. Selected original scalar fields from one actual saved observation; nested data and private artifact links are omitted.

Run: RN8xDZx1rmqX1V4uT. Summary status: ok. Incomplete: false.

Dated bounded release evidence for this exact input and build. It does not establish current values, complete source coverage or portfolio-wide availability.
