Cloning Events

Cloning lets you quickly duplicate an event while customizing the date, time, and calendar. This is perfect for recurring events, event series, or creating variations of an existing event.

What Gets Cloned

When you clone an event, everything is copied except:

• Guest list and registrations
• Event blasts (email communications)

This includes:

• Event title and description
• Cover image and theme
• Location (physical address or virtual meeting link)
• Ticket types and pricing
• Registration settings (capacity, approval requirements, waitlist)
• Registration questions
• All other event settings

How to Clone an Event

1. Go to your event's manage page
2. Click the More tab
3. Click Clone Event
4. Choose your settings:
   • Calendar: Select which calendar the new event(s) should belong to
   • Visibility: Set to public, private, or members-only
   • New Time(s): Add one or more dates/times for the cloned events
   • Timezone: Confirm the timezone for the new event(s)
5. Click Clone Event

You'll see a confirmation screen with links to your newly created event(s).

Cloning Multiple Events at Once

You can create up to 30 cloned events at once (10 for Zoom events). There are two ways to add multiple times:

Add Time Button

Click Add Time to manually add individual dates. Each time you click, a new date picker appears. This is useful when your events don't follow a regular pattern.

Recurrence Button

Click Recurrence to automatically generate dates based on a pattern (daily, weekly, monthly, etc.). This is ideal for regular recurring events like weekly meetups or monthly workshops.

You can combine both methods - for example, set up a weekly recurrence and then manually add a few extra dates.

Cloning Zoom Events

When cloning an event that uses Zoom, you have the option to Create new Zoom meetings (or webinars) for each cloned event. This is enabled by default.

If you uncheck this option, the cloned events will share the same Zoom meeting link as the original event.

Note: Due to Zoom API limits, you can only clone up to 10 Zoom events at once.

Cloning Paid Events

When cloning a paid event to a different calendar, make sure the destination calendar has payments set up. If it doesn't, you'll see a warning and the cloned event will be created without payment capabilities until you configure payments on that calendar.

Event Templates

Luma doesn't have a formal templates feature, but you can achieve similar results in two ways:

Clone an Existing Event

Create your first event with all the settings you want, then clone it for future events. This works well when you have a "master" event you want to replicate.

Use Pre-filled Create Links

You can construct a URL to the create page with certain values pre-filled. This is useful for sharing with your team or embedding on your website.

Supported parameters:

• calendar - Calendar API ID to create the event under
• duration - Duration in ISO 8601 format (e.g., PT2H for 2 hours)
• timezone - IANA timezone (e.g., America/New_York)
• visibility - public, private, or members-only
• tint_color - Theme color as hex (e.g., %23ff5500 for #ff5500)
• font_title - Font name (e.g., futura)
• max_capacity - Maximum number of guests

Example URL:

https://lu.ma/create?duration=PT2H&timezone=America/Los_Angeles&tint_color=%23ff6b35&max_capacity=12

Note: The # character in hex colors must be URL-encoded as %23.
