Duplicate Events: Save Time Creating Similar Events
8 min
overview the duplicate events feature lets you create new events in seconds by copying all settings from existing events instead of rebuilding prices, membership bonuses, ticket categories, and questionnaires from scratch, you can duplicate any past or upcoming event and customize only what needs to change each duplicated event operates independently with its own ticket counts, analytics, and revenue tracking the problem we solved event hosts told us they were spending hours recreating similar events with identical pricing structures, ticket types, and custom questionnaires whether hosting weekly classes, monthly workshops, or seasonal programs, the repetitive setup process was eating into valuable time that could be spent growing their communities our solution event duplication eliminates the tedious recreation process with one click, you can copy all event details—from complex pricing structures to custom registration forms—then make quick adjustments for dates, times, or specific details this feature transforms what used to take 30 45 minutes into a 2 3 minute task how it works for event hosts to duplicate an event navigate to your dashboard and select the events tab find the event you want to duplicate and click on its settings button select "duplicate event" from the settings menu a new event creation form will appear with all original event details pre filled update the event date and time to your preferred schedule modify any other details (title, description, capacity, etc ) as needed click "save and publish" to make your duplicated event live what gets duplicated all ticket categories and pricing tiers membership discounts and bonuses custom registration questionnaires event description and formatting capacity limits and waitlist settings payment plan configurations marketing preferences key features & metrics feature benefit time saved complete settings copy no manual recreation needed 85% faster setup independent analytics each event tracks separately full reporting clarity custom date/time maintain series consistency instant scheduling selective modifications change only what's different 90% fewer clicks best practices 💡 create template events set up "template" events with your standard pricing, questionnaires, and settings keep these as drafts to duplicate whenever you need new events with similar structures 💡 use descriptive naming when duplicating, immediately update the event title to include the new date or session number (e g , "yoga flow series session 5" instead of "yoga flow series session 4 (copy)") 💡 review capacity limits different venues or time slots might require different capacity limits always double check and adjust capacity settings for each duplicated event 💡 update marketing materials remember to create new promotional images and update any date specific marketing copy before publishing your duplicated event 💡 check payment deadlines if your original event had payment plan deadlines, make sure to adjust these dates proportionally for your new event timing 💡 customize registration questions while most questions may stay the same, consider if any should be updated for the specific session (e g , "previous attendance" or "experience level") 💡 set up event series for recurring events, duplicate your first successful event to maintain consistency in pricing and experience across all sessions real world example sarah's bootcamp success sarah runs weekly hiit bootcamps and used to spend 20 minutes setting up each new session with the same 3 tier pricing ($15 drop in, $50 for 4 pack, $90 for 8 pack) and injury waiver questions now she duplicates her template event every sunday night for the following week's sessions "i went from 20 minutes of setup to literally 2 minutes i just change the date, maybe update the workout focus, and i'm done it's incredible," sarah shared frequently asked questions q can i duplicate events from other hosts or public events?
