Duplicating an event
Cloning copies an event into a new one: the fastest way to set up the next edition of a meetup, a class or a conference without starting from scratch. The organizer and the event's admins can clone it.
What gets copied
- Title, description, cover image, languages and hashtags
- Format, location and meeting link
- Visibility, capacity, plus-ones and guest approval
- Ticket types and prices, and how payment is collected
- Registration questions
- Reminder settings
- The calendar the event is presented by, when you run that calendar
You choose whether to copy two more things:
- Admins — the co-organizers you added to the event
- Sponsors — with their tiers
Guests, tickets sold, invitations, comments, updates and photos stay with the original event, as do the agenda, speakers, materials, coupons and door team — each edition gets its own.
Ticket sales windows are cleared, so set new ones if the next edition needs them.
How to clone
On the web:
- Open the event, choose Manage, then the Advanced tab.
- Select Clone event.
On a desktop, you can also start from Create event: the Clone past event list under the cover shows your most recent past events — pick one.
In the app, open the event, go to the More tab and tap Clone event.
Then:
- Set the new start and end. They are filled in a month after the original — or the first monthly date still ahead — at the same time of day and for the same length.
- Choose whether to copy admins and sponsors.
- Turn on Publish to make the new event live straight away, or leave it off to save it as a draft.
- Select Clone event. The new event opens, ready to edit.
Recurring events
For a recurring series, Clone event opens a new event with the series' details filled in, and you finish it in the create form.
After cloning
The original event is untouched. The two events are independent — changes to one do not affect the other.
A draft stays out of Cloomba's listings, and nobody is notified about it, until you publish it. Once a public event is published, people who follow you, its calendar, its city or its hashtags hear about it, as with any new event — about an hour after your last edit, so there is time to update the title and date first.
