Copy an Event Including Its Event App
This article explains how to include the entire Event App when copying an event and which content is transferred in the process.
REQUIREMENTS
Before you start, you need:
- permission to copy events in your account
- an event with an Event App set up
STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS
- In the Event Overview, open the Copy event dialog for your event.
- In addition to the desired areas, select the "Event App" option.
- Start the copying process.
- Adjust the branding and content in the new event and have publication enabled as soon as the app is ready to go live.
| Note: When you select Event App, the custom fields are automatically selected as well. This is mandatory and follows the same logic as for the landing page, because the app references these fields. |
WHAT IS COPIED
The copy includes the complete setup and all app content:
- App setup and design, including theme, branding and navigation
- App pages
- Agenda, including speakers
- Event plan and directories
- FAQs, galleries and media library
- Exhibitors and news feed posts
- Surveys and quizzes
Media files are physically duplicated and all QR codes are newly generated.
No element of the new app refers to the source event.
WHAT IS NOT COPIED
Guest and runtime data remain in the source event:
- Chat messages
- Push campaigns that have already been sent
- Responses from surveys and quizzes
- Scan and tracking data
| Note: Push campaigns and chat channels are not included in the copy and must be set up again in the new event. |
THE COPIED APP IS A DRAFT
| Property | Behaviour |
|---|---|
| Status | Unpublished |
| Address | New URL; the custom domain is not carried over |
| Publication | Permission to publish is not copied |
| Important: A copied app therefore cannot accidentally go live. Publication is enabled separately as soon as the event is actually ready to start. |
TYPICAL USE CASES
- Clone a fully built demo app and redesign it for another brand
- For recurring events, carry over the app from the previous edition and update only the agenda, speakers and content
