How do I copy or share my Workflow?

AWeber's workflow feature gives you the ability to create multiple series of messages unique to your mailing list. After creating a new workflow, you can duplicate it within your list, copy it to another list in your account, and even generate a code that you can use to share your workflow across accounts.

In this article, we will detail how to create a copy of an existing workflow, how to copy a workflow across lists, and how to copy a workflow across accounts.

Note: This feature is not accessible on the AWeber Free plan. To access this feature and many more powerful features to support your business, simply upgrade your account.

Copying Your Workflow

First, go to the Workflows page on the list that contains the workflow you'd like to copy. Select the Options button associated with the workflow you'd like to copy and click "Copy."

From the modal that appears, click the "Copy" button.



After copying your workflow, you'll see a new workflow created which will be titled, "Copy of (Workflow Name Here)". For example, the workflow we copied earlier was titled "Learn better recipes", so the copy will be titled, "Copy of Learn better recipes". The new copy of the workflow will be an exact copy of the selected workflow aside from the name, but you can change the name any time for your copied workflow.

After editing the name and anything else for your copied workflow, you'll need to publish it before it can be sent to your subscribers. To do so, click the "Publish" button in the upper right corner.



Note: You have the ability to delete a copied workflow before it is turned "On". Once the workflow is turned "On", you are no longer able to delete it. To delete your copied workflow, click the "Delete" button, found under the options button.



Congratulations! You just copied your workflow! Changes to the copied workflow will not be applied to any other workflows.

Copying Your Workflow to Another List

On the Workflows page, click the options button. Then, select the "Copy to List" and choose the list where you want the workflow to be copied to.



Once you select a list, your workflow will be copied and placed in the selected list. The workflow will be in a "Draft" status until you turn the workflow "On".

Sharing and Importing an Existing Workflow Across Accounts

Whether you're looking to share your workflow with another AWeber user, or import an existing workflow into your own account, you'll first need the workflow sharing code. To generate a workflow sharing code for your own workflow, select the options button. Then, click "Sharing Options".



In the slide-in panel that appears, click the toggle labeled, "Make this workflow sharable", in order to make the workflow sharable. Copy the code displayed in the text box by using the "Copy" button.



Once you have your Workflow Sharing code copied, click the Import button on the Workflows page in the list you'd like to add that workflow to.



On the following page that appears, paste your copied Workflow Sharing code, give your workflow a name, and select "Import Workflow."



Your series will load after a brief delay. Finally, once the workflow is populated in your list, you'll need to turn it "On".

Does copying a workflow also copy the open and click stats for the messages it contains?

No. The messages in a copied workflow are new messages, so there will not be any stats associated with those messages.
