Summary
Join It’s Copy Event feature lets organization admins create a new event using an existing event’s details, settings, and Registration Types. Choose a name and start date, then review and customize the new event.
Each copy is a separate event with its own registrations and orders.
Why copy an event?
If your organization hosts monthly meetups, regular workshops, or annual fundraisers, you can reuse the setup you’ve already created. Copying an event helps you:
Save time entering descriptions, locations, and registration options.
Keep pricing, member eligibility, and registration questions consistent.
Track registrations separately for each event.
For example, you can copy this month’s member meetup, select next month’s date, and update any details that have changed.
How to Copy an Event
Open your event. From your organization’s dashboard, navigate to Events and select the event you want to copy.
Click Copy Event. Scroll to the bottom of the event’s management page, below the Direct Link section.
Enter an Event Name. The name starts with the original event’s name followed by “(Copy).” Replace this with the name you’d like attendees to see.
Choose a Start Date. Select the date for your new event.
Click Copy. Join It creates the new event and takes you to its management page.
Review and share. Check the dates, times, description, location, Registration Types, and confirmation email. Make any updates, then use the new event’s Direct Link to share it.
Frequently Asked Questions
What information is copied?
The new event carries over:
The event description, short description, image, and location.
Registration settings and members-only visibility.
Registration Types, including their names, prices, capacities, visibility, membership eligibility rules, custom questions, and display order.
Any event-specific registration confirmation email.
You choose the new event’s name and start date when making the copy.
Are existing registrations or orders copied?
No. The new event starts with zero registrations and orders. Attendees must register separately for the new event. Copying an event also does not send registration confirmation emails to previous attendees.
What happens to the end date and event times?
The end date moves by the same number of days as the start date. The original start and end times are retained in the event’s time zone.
For example, if you move the start date forward by one week, the end date also moves forward by one week. You can edit the schedule after copying.
Will editing the copy change the original event?
No. The copy is a separate event. Updating its event details or Registration Type settings does not change the original.
Does the copied event use the same link?
No. The copy has its own event page and shareable link. Use the Direct Link section on the new event when sharing it.
An external ticketing URL from the original event is not carried over. If you use external ticketing, add the appropriate URL to the new event.
