Duplicate a template
To duplicate a template in Tallyfy, just click the More menu (three dots) on any template card and select Duplicate. That’s it. You’ll have an exact copy of your template ready to customize - perfect when you need a slightly different version of a process or want to test changes without touching the original.
- Permission to access the template you want to copy
- Permission to create new templates in your account
- To know what gets copied and what doesn’t (see below)
- Save time: Skip rebuilding similar templates from scratch - you’ll save 2-3 hours per template
- Keep consistency: Start with the same foundation but tweak for specific needs
- Create versions: Different teams often need their own spin (think Sales vs. Marketing onboarding)
- Test changes safely: Experiment on the copy - your original template in Tallyfy stays untouched
- Keep old versions: Archive what’s working while you develop something new
Here’s how to make a copy:
- Go to the Templates section where your templates live in Tallyfy
- Find the template you want to copy
- Click the More menu (three dots icon) on the template card
- Choose Duplicate from the menu
- Give your copy a clear name - adding “Copy” or a version number really helps (like “Client Onboarding - Marketing Team Copy”)
- Click Duplicate - done in under 30 seconds
Good news - almost everything comes along for the ride:
- All the steps in the same order
- Every task description and instruction you wrote
- All form fields and their settings
- Your conditional logic (rules)1 and automations
- Task assignments (if you set them in the original template)
- Any dependencies between steps (like when Step 2 waits for Step 1)
- The template description
A few things start fresh with your copy:
- Tags: You’ll need to add these again
- Webhooks: These don’t carry over from the original
- Internal IDs (Aliases)2: Every field and step gets brand new IDs (only matters if you’ve connected external tools using these specific IDs)
- History: Your copy starts with a clean slate - no activity logs
- Template ID: The copy gets its own unique ID in Tallyfy
Simple enough.
Once you’ve made your copy, here’s what to do next:
- Check the new template - make sure everything looks right
- Add any tags you need to organize it
- Set up webhooks again if your copy needs them
- Got external tools using the old template’s field IDs? Update them to point to the new ones
- Now make whatever changes you had in mind
