Adding Co-hosts to an Event

Co-hosts help you run an event. They can edit it, see who signs up, and get its sign-up emails. Co-hosts with a public profile also show beside you under Hosted by on the event page.

Before you begin

You can add co-hosts if you host the event, already co-host it, or are a church admin who can edit events.
Find people by their name, their @username, or their complete email address. Someone without an account yet can be invited by email.

Step-by-step

Open the event's editor. Scroll to Co-hosts, just above Notifications.
Click Who co-hosts. A window lists the event's host first (if the event has one), labeled Host, then any co-hosts and anyone invited.
Search for the person. Type at least two letters of their name, their @username, or their complete email address. Results show each person's photo, name and @username, never an email address you didn't type.
Click the person. They're added right away and you see a confirmation. The search clears so you can add someone else.
Close the window. The Who co-hosts row shows the new count, and Who gets notified now includes them.

Each new co-host gets one email saying who added them, with an Edit event button. Your email address is never shared with them.

Invite someone by email

Type their full email address in the search. If they already have a Churchday account, they show up and you can add them right away.
If no one shows up, click Invite {their email} (or press Enter). They get an email asking them to sign in or create a Churchday account with that address. The list shows them as Invited, waiting to sign up, and the Who co-hosts row counts them, such as "1 person, 2 invited".

When they sign in with that exact email address, they become a co-host and start getting the sign-up emails. Invites don't expire. To cancel one, click Remove beside it.

Remove a co-host

Open Who co-hosts in the event's editor.
Click Remove beside their name. They can no longer edit the event, and they stop getting its sign-up emails.

The event's host can't be removed.

Good to know

What co-hosts can change on a church's event. Co-hosts edit everything except what the church controls: who can see the event and sign up, the price and payment details, the link to another site's sign-up page, check-in, volunteers, showing members as attendees, and registration questions that add people to a church group. In a co-host's editor the registration link and the price show with the note Set by the church; the other settings don't appear. Church admins who can edit events can change them.
Church admins can always edit a church's event, whether or not they're listed as co-hosts. A church admin can't add themselves, because they can already edit it.
Who appears in the search. People with a public profile can always be found. People in your church show too when you belong to that church. A co-host from outside the church doesn't see the church's people here, or when choosing who gets notified or a program leader. Church admins also see people in the church who don't have an account yet, greyed out; they can't be added until they sign up.
Already opted out? If a co-host turned off this event's emails before, adding them again doesn't turn them back on.
On the event page, co-hosts with a public profile show beside the host (others can still edit, they just aren't listed). Up to three co-hosts' photos overlap beside the host's, and their names follow the host's, such as "Hannah, Eli and Grace" or "Hannah, Eli and 3 others".
Signed in with a different email? Opening the event's editor from an invite while signed in with another address shows You can't edit this event. Sign in with the address the invite went to.
Duplicating an event doesn't copy its co-hosts.
