Duplicate/Clone Automations within Board

When setting up a new board - or editing an existing board - I often have many automations that are similar with one element that is different. For instance, I have a board that has 10+ status columns. I want a Team to be notified when any of the Statuses is changed to “Stuck”. As of right now, I have to start from scratch on each which can be time-consuming and boringly repetitive.

Ideally, I would be able to hover on an automation and select a clone or duplicate icon that resides in the area around the “Edit Automation” and “Delete Automation” icons . This would open a new automation formula that contains the cloned automation. The “Add To Board” button would be greyed out until at least one criterion was changed.

(This kind of functionality was mentioned before, though not in Feature Requests: Duplicate Automations)

Hi @daniellephillips.atl! Yes, we love this idea. Our automations team is aware of this need and looking to implement this soon into our automations store. Stay on the lookout for improvements here! Cheers!

Are there any updates with this? It’s been 2 years and possibly even 3 since the other postings I have seen.

I love the idea of being able to duplicate an automation. I have another platform I use where I can save my own custom reports. Ideally, I would like to be able to save my own automations I have built and be able to choose them from the “Add Automation” menu. This could be beneficial on both the single user or organizational level. Thanks!

Hi all!

We sincerely apologise for the delay in updating this thread. We want to assure you that we see all your feedback, and are working on a process to attend to all feature requests in a more prompt manner.

That being said, you should now have the option to duplicate automation recipes from your automations centre:

We hope this helps!
