      How to copy an event


      Grip offers two types of event copying: within the same application and across different applications.

      Copying an Event within the Same Grip Application

      To copy an event within the same Grip application:

      1. Select the Event: Navigate to the event you want to duplicate.
      2. Click the Copy icon: This initiates the event cloning process.
      3. Adjust settings as needed: This allows you to replicate the event setup quickly and efficiently, avoiding repetitive configuration tasks.

      Copying an Event from a Different Grip Application

      To copy an event from a different Grip application:

      To copy an event from a different Grip application:

      1. Enable Copying Permissions: In the source event, go to Event Details > Event Setup > Event Template Settings and enable copying by using the template code.

      2. Go to the Target Application: Select Create New Event > Copy an Event from Another App.

      3. Paste the Template Code: Enter the template code, validate it, and proceed.

      4. Map Data Types: Ensure the target application supports all data types from the source event. Mapping is required for this step.

        Caution: You cannot copy an event if your application does not support the same or a larger amount of data types as the source event. Ensure proper mapping before proceeding. 

      5. Toggle Setup Features: Select which event features to copy by toggling them on or off based on compatibility and your needs.

      6. Finalize Event Details: Enter the event name, location, start and end dates, and click Create New Event. Your pre-configured event will be ready in just a few minutes!



      What gets copied and what does not when I copy an event?

      Data Types, Settings, and Permissions

      • Copied: All event data types, settings, permissions, relationships, and custom profile fields are copied at both the app and event levels.
      • Not Copied: Event name, location, start date, and end date must be manually entered.

      Navigation Items and Settings

      • Copied: All navigation items and settings, including custom groups and platform settings.

      Homepage Items and Settings

      • Copied: All blocks, text, background colors, thumbnails, visibility permissions, and platform settings.

      Campaign/Welcome Emails

      • Copied: All email settings, including automated email toggles (whether in-app or cross-app), templates, and email names, are copied when using event templating. However, email analytics and sending data are not included in the copy.

      Email analytics are not included. This is because this only refers to emails sent in the specific event, so this information will be redundant in a new event.

      Event Settings

      • Copied: Default event access, industry, format, date and time formats, platforms, email sending domain, notification queue, and registration queue settings.

      Meeting Settings

      • Copied: Group meeting settings, instant meeting settings, and default meeting location capacity.

      Native Integrations

      • Copied: All settings and mappings, excluding integration schedules.

      Custom Groups

      • Copied: Group names (with translations), recommendations, profile visibility, search capabilities, and unstructured metadata.

      Event Agenda Items

      • Copied: As per the feature list.
