I can't add a host
Hosts need Pro, or Gala on the event. Each person can host an event once, so someone already hosting can't be added again.
Owner · Admin · Manager
Two things stop a new host. On Free, Add host is turned off and the Hosts page says Hosts are on Pro; hosts you added before keep their links. And each person can host an event once: in the picker someone who already hosts says Already hosting, and a matching email is refused with "is already hosting this event."
Fix it
- 1On Free: the owner opens Settings → Plans and upgrades to Pro, or adds Gala to this event.
- 2Already hosting: find the person's row in Outreach → Hosts and use their existing link. Open the row menu and click Copy host link.
- 3On an event with Gala the button is Add committee member. Add the person to the committee, or as an honoree.
- When
- You add someone who already hosts the event
- Then
- Ovante refuses: one host link per person per event, matched by contact, member account or email.
- When
- An event has Gala
- Then
- Every host on it is a committee member, listed by name below the sponsors instead of as a portrait card. Honorees get the portrait cards.
Not this?
- A host isn't credited for sales: see A host isn't getting credit.
- A host's photo changed: see A host's photo changed.
