Cloning, time travel, and repeating events

1 min read - Create events en masse and save time.

Updated this week

Events often run multiple times, so quickly making copies of previous events in Gecko is super important.

๐Ÿšจ Be careful when cloning, repeating, or time-traveling events with workflows set up to run After a date (an absolute date/time). If this date/time has already passed, we recommend deleting the workflow before cloning.

Gecko offers three tools designed to make bulk/batch-creating events a breeze. The methods below can be used by clicking on the event you want to copy/time-travel or from the Events page.

  • Clone - Makes a carbon copy of your event (all settings, categories, timezones, locations, hosts, sessions, and workflows are identical). The newly cloned event will be empty and will have no students.

  • Repeat - Offers the same functionality as cloning an event but allows you to bulk-create multiple events.

  • Timetravel - Move an existing event to a new event start date/time in the future. Timetravelling will move all session start/end times relative to the new start date/time picked.
