Events
Manage your events
Find hosted, invited, and past plans, then use the management action appropriate to your role.
Open the event actions
Open the event from Home or Calendar, then choose the actions menu. The choices shown depend on whether you are a host or guest.
Choose the change you need
Hosts can edit event details or cancel the event. Guests can leave an event. Read the confirmation carefully before continuing.
Confirm the outcome
After an edit, return to event details and verify the changed information. After leaving or cancelling, the event no longer behaves like an active event.
Expected result
The event reflects the change, and affected people see the updated state in Hostly.Platform notes
Before you continue
Only hosts can edit or cancel an event. A guest leaving does not cancel the event for anyone else.
Troubleshooting
If something does not look right
You cannot see Edit event
Confirm that your event role is Host. A host can promote another participant when appropriate.
You deleted or left the wrong event
Deleted and left events may not be recoverable in the app. Contact the host or Hostly support with the event name and approximate date.
Understand how it works
Hostly concepts behind this task
Find your events
Home, Search, Calendar view, and the event lists in Settings provide different ways to return to plans available to your account. Use Search when you remember the event but not its date.
Separate hosted and invited plans
A host manages event information and people, while a guest participates through the access chosen for that event. The actions shown inside event settings reflect your current role.
Review past events
Past events move out of the upcoming flow but remain useful for reviewing details, people, planning history, or conversation when access is still available.
Leave an event
A guest can use the available leave action when they no longer want access to a plan. Leaving is different from changing an RSVP: it can remove the event and its activity from the account.
Cancel or delete as a host
Hosts may have controls to cancel or delete an event. Read the confirmation carefully because the action can affect guest access, invitations, planning content, and notifications.
If an event disappears
Check the signed-in account, invitation status, past-event view, and Search. The host may also have removed the event or changed your access.
Common questions
Quick answers
Will guests be notified when details change?
Guests receive updates according to their notification settings. Important changes should also be called out in event chat.
Can I duplicate an event?
There is not currently a dedicated duplicate action. Create a new event and copy the details you want to reuse.
