How do I create a button that updates the record status and creates a related event?

I want to click a button on a campaign member record that will:
  1. Update the campaign record status
  2. Create a new related event that I can update
Thanks.

Hi Will

create a new javascript button

Navigate to “Customize | Campaign | Button, Links and Actions”.
Create new button of type “Detail Page Button” , behavior “Execute Javascript” and content source “Onclick JavaScript”.

  
{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/33.0/connection.js")}
{!REQUIRESCRIPT("/soap/ajax/33.0/apex.js")} 

var accnt = new sforce.SObject("Account");
accnt.Id = '{!Account.Id}';
accnt.Name = prompt('Enter new Account Name','{!Account.Name}');

var result = sforce.connection.update([accnt]);
if(result[0].getBoolean("success"))
{
   alert('Account updated successfully');
   window.location.reload();
}
else{
  alert('Error : '+result);
}

Similar to above example you can create and update records on button click.

Thanks

Pankaj, thanks. This is what the button already does. Can you help? It fills in some fields automatically. /00U/e?RecordType=012500000001QyU&ent=Event &evt2={!CampaignMember.Contact}&evt3_lkid={!CampaignMember.CampaignId} &evt3={!CampaignMember.Campaign} &evt4={!TODAY()} &evt5={!CampaignMember.Campaign}+{!CampaignMember.CompanyOrAccount}+{!CampaignMember.Contact} &CF00N38000003WwBq={!CampaignMember.CompanyOrAccount}

Hi Will,

You can update the campaign first and then redirect to the URL you created:
