Using the Clone Feature
The clone feature allows you to quickly and safely create an independent copy of existing setups across multiple functionalities in FT CRM.
Inside FT CRM you will find plenty of opportunities to clone as a way to quickly and safely create a copy of something that’s already been set up previously.
A cloned version is always independent of the original but will exist with the exact same settings and properties. Using the clone feature, rather than creating something new, will therefore help you save time and be more efficient as you’ll start off with a foundation instead of beginning from scratch - something that we highly recommend, where applicable of course.
We're big into cloning as a way to save time and to safely re-use things that you already dedicated time to set up.
➿ How to clone

💡 Tip: As always, it is important to give descriptive and appropriate names to your triggers, segments, etc. Make sure it is clear to you and your team about what can be found inside.
