Select Events Widget from the available menu option types to reveal a dropdown list of available event Product integration Instances to link the smart tile to. Provide a name for the smart tile and select Create to add to the homescreen preview. You can now configure the smart tile title and select if the image for the event should be shown on the face of the smart tile.

As this is our first smart tile, we want feedback to help shape these types of experiences going forward. Look out for more widgets throughout 2023.
