Clone an event

Written by Benjamin Dell

If you have already built an event and want to reuse its setup for a new one, you can clone the event instead of starting from scratch. Cloning creates a new unpublished event with (copy) added to the title. The clone request runs in the background, and HeySummit emails you when the cloned event is ready.


​

Clone an event

  1. Log in as the event organiser, or as a team member with permission to clone the event and create another event.

  2. Open the event dashboard.

  3. Click the event name near the top of the left sidebar to open its menu.

  4. Select Clone.

​

Review the clone confirmation and confirm the request. If a capacity warning appears instead, check your available event quota before trying again.


​

Find the cloned event

When the clone is ready, HeySummit emails you a link to its dashboard. You can also open the user menu at the bottom of the dashboard sidebar and select My Events to find it. The new event has (copy) added to its name.

What is copied

HeySummit copies the main event setup and content, including landing pages and page blocks, header and footer links, speakers, sponsors, talks, stages, categories, venues, tickets, add-ons, donations, coupons, email templates, registration questions, FAQs, perks, translations, testimonials, viral incentives, pixel providers, and related event assets.


​

What is not copied

Cloning does not copy the original event's attendee registrations or purchase history. The new event is unpublished and has its own HeySummit address. The original custom domain is not attached to it. After cloning, review the new event before publishing. Pay particular attention to dates, registration settings, payment methods, webinar/video providers, integrations, custom domain, email sender settings, and any content that should be specific to the new event.


​

If cloning is not available

  • Make sure you have permission to manage the event.

  • Make sure your plan has enough active event quota to create another event.

  • If you need the same domain on the new event, add it again after cloning. See setting up a custom domain.
