- receiving, from a social networking program operating on a first computer system by an event program operating on a second computer system, data from a social networking post;
identifying, by the event program, information from the data associated with a first member of a social network;
determining, by the event program, whether the information includes information about a future event that the first member intends to participate in;

responsive to generating the event record, determining, by the event program, whether the information about the future event in the event record is above a numeric threshold, wherein the numeric threshold is a percentage of fields in the event record that are filled in with information, wherein the threshold is below one hundred percent and above zero percent;
responsive to determining that the information about the future event in the event record is above a numeric threshold, transmitting, by the event program, the event record to the first member of the social network;
receiving, from the first member of the social network by the event program, one or more updates to the event record, wherein the updates include one or more of the following;
an update to the event record or adding information to the event record;

Abstract
An invitation is created on a social network. To create the invitation, a computer receives, from a social networking program operating on a first computer system by an event program operating on a second computer system, data from a social networking post. The computer identifies, by the event program, information from the data associated with a first member of a social network. The computer determines whether the information includes information about a future event that the first member intends to participate in. The computer generates an invitation to a second member of the social network for the future event based on the information about the future event. The computer transmits the invitation for the social networking post for sending by the social networking program to a user device of the second member of the social network.
