How to Copy a traveler to another trip
- From Trip CRM, open the TripBoard and select the trip board of the traveler you want to copy to another trip. This traveler is fully booked for the Galapagos Islands trip.
- He has also filled out the task form for this trip
- Click on the icon shown below in the green box
- Select Copy a Repeat Traveler feature
- Choose the trip to which you are going to copy their profile
- Click on COPY
- If successful, you will see this green box. The profile and task responses will be copied. Please note that this action cannot be undone.
If there are any issues (packages/forms that don't match between the trips) you'll be prompted to accept the mismatch and continue or cancel the copy.
- Then, you can view the traveler's new trip board via NEW TRIPBOARD
- The copied traveler will have the Invited status and be marked as Not Responded and Not Booked for the new trip
- If the new trip has the same task field, the response will be copied
- From here, you can easily send an invitation to the traveler, allowing them to access the new trip and pay the deposit without refilling their profile and task forms
