Duplicating series of events

[vivek]

Hi,
We just purchased the Pro version and are using it on a client’s WordPress website. They offer courses that involve 15 different workshop modules and allow customers to purchase through InfusionSoft Ecommerce. We are hoping to be able to set up one series of the events, with all the detailed information for each day and links to the appropriate product in ECommerce and then be able to duplicate this series of events for future months.

So far, we can’t seem to see how to duplicate events. Can you help?

Thanks!

Hello Vivek!
We have some help videos on recurring events, is this what you are looking to do?

Thanks, Joyce. This is helpful, although not exactly what we are looking to do. However, if the ability to duplicate events or series’ of events isn’t available, we may be able to may do by creating a recurring event, then going in and changing all the dates to the specific dates of the subsequent events. In our case, the events don’t occur at regular intervals, but at least adding the recurrence can help eliminate the duplicate entry of most data.

Thanks again for the idea!

I see. Yes, I think you are right about that. Since a “recurring” event is technically a duplicate with the date changed on a regular interval, your case would be a little different. In essence you are duplicating events with variations in date at irregular intervals, and just like trying to duplicate blog posts with some information being different, this is quite hard to automate. If it is a big time-saver for your company though, it might be worthwhile to hire a programmer to custom code this ability for you. Just a thought.

Thanks! Glad I was able to do whatever I could…even if it wasn’t much!
