Here's how to search for, select, and save a vendor when working on vendor-related tasks in The Knot checklist.
Overview
After you mark a vendor-related task as done, the system will ask you to choose the vendor you hired. Linking a vendor helps keep your event planning organized and your budget up to date.
Steps to Find and Save a Vendor
To connect a vendor to a checklist task, follow these steps:
Complete the Task: Check off a vendor-related task in your Checklist.
Search by Name: When the prompt appears, start typing your vendor's name. A list of matching options will show up automatically.
Select Vendor: Click on the correct vendor from the dropdown and save.
Troubleshooting: Vendor Not Found
If you don’t see your vendor in the search results:
Use Google Search: Scroll to the bottom of the list and choose Search Google Results or Add Customer Vendor. This lets you bring in business info from outside sources to find smaller or local vendors, or add your own vendor—for example, if a family member is handling hair or makeup, you can add their details as a vendor.
