Make a copy of an automated email series to reuse, or copy a Step email to use outside of your series

Exclamation Point IconNote: This article is for our legacy automated email series feature. If you’re using our new Automation Path Builder, please reference this article instead.



If you’ve already created an automated email series and want to quickly set up another one, or want to send one of your Step emails as a standalone email, copying makes it easy!


Copy a series

Whether you want to resend an Ended series to a new mailing list or use the same series flow with some small tweaks, you can easily copy any existing Draft, Active, or Ended series.

  2. (Optional) Use the filters to help narrow your search.
  3. Click Manage next to the automated email series you want to copy.
