Copy Automations

Updated this week

To save time, you can copy an existing automation to create a new automation.

The new automation uses the same entry source and filters as the original automation. It also includes the same actions and time delays in the same order. In the new automation, you can:

  • Select a new entry source

  • Edit the entry source filters and settings

  • Add, edit, or remove actions and time delays

In the new automation, the analytics (constituent counts) reset to zero.
