👉 Duplicating a campaign

📖 Definition

The duplicate option enables you to duplicate a campaign, that is to say copy its configuration into a new campaign, either by keeping the same type (identical duplication) or by changing it to a new type of campaign (duplication & transformation).

This prevents you from having to configure all steps of a campaign again.

⚙️ Configuration

This option is available from the test and personalization dashboards, for all campaigns that have been launched at least once (their current status can be live or paused).

To duplicate a campaign, apply the following steps:

 👉 Access the functionality: click > Duplicate:

The duplication popin displays.

👉 Choose your destination campaign type: you can choose to either keep the same type (identical duplication) or modify it (duplication & transformation).

👉 Select the content to duplicate: depending of you previous selection, you may have to select the Page/variation to duplicate.

👉 [Optional] Select the destination account: it can be the same one or another one you have access to. The list only displays accounts you have access to.

👉 [Optional] Enter a name for your duplicated campaign: by default, your campaign name has the following format: source campaign name (duplicate).

👉 Validate by clicking Duplicate: the duplicated campaign is displayed in its corresponding dashboard (test or personalization) and is paused by default.

🚩 Heads up

When duplicating a campaign that is currently in QA, the QA mode is automatically disabled, and the duplicated campaign is always paused by default.

💡 Use cases

Duplicating an A/B test

You have created an A/B test; you can duplicate it as a/an: 

• AB test: identical duplication
  The following aspects will be identical to the original test: number of variations, modifications, goals, traffic allocation, targeting set-up.
• Multipage test: to add page(s) to your test
  The duplicated test will integrate the original AB test as the first Page of your Multipage test. You must set-up at least the second Page of the generated test, which is empty. You will then be able to add and remove variations.
• Simple personalization: to patch your website with a winning variation
  The duplicated personalization will be based on the variation of your AB Test chosen from the popin. It can be useful if you want to allocate 100% of the traffic to a winning variation without any risk of corrupting your test data and to make sure every single targeted user sees the new version of your website.
• Multipage personalization: to create a personalized flow based on a winning variation of an AB test
