Overview

This node operation duplicates an existing automation in DocsAutomator. It is useful when you want to create a copy of an automation to modify or reuse without altering the original. For example, duplicating an automation that generates reports allows you to create a similar report with slight changes without starting from scratch.

Use Case Examples

  1. Duplicating an automation by selecting its ID from the list to create a copy for further customization.
  2. Using the duplicate operation to quickly replicate an automation workflow for a new project.
