Cloning a Sequence

How to clone a sequence, exactly what gets copied and what doesn't, who owns the clone, and what to review before launching the copy.

Written by Amogh Balikai

Who this is for: Recruiters who want to reuse an existing sequence as the starting point for a new one.

What cloning does

Cloning creates a copy of an existing sequence in Draft state. It gives you a fully built starting point — steps, content, settings — that you can modify and launch without rebuilding from scratch. This is the fastest way to create a new sequence based on one that's already working.

How to clone a sequence

  1. Go to the Sequences page

  2. Find the sequence you want to clone and click the Options icon as seen in the image below

  3. Select Clone Sequence

  4. Confirm — the new sequence appears immediately in the Sequences table as a Draft

What gets copied

What IS copied

What is NOT copied

All steps in the same order

Recipients

All step content (subject lines, message bodies, tokens)

Historical reporting data

Step configuration (delays, skip weekends, task settings, send as reply)

Sequence status (clone always starts as Draft)

Sender list and sender priority settings

Scheduled launch time (if the original was scheduled)

Schedule selection

Attached job opening (if any)

Sequence stopping rules

Branching conditions and structure

Who owns the clone

The sequence creator is set to whoever triggered the clone action — not the original sequence owner. If you clone someone else's sequence, you become the owner of the new one.

What to do after cloning

The clone opens in Draft state. Before launching, review and update:

  • Sequence name — the clone inherits the original name. Rename it to something distinct.

  • Senders — confirm the sender list and priority are correct for this new sequence's audience

  • Attached job — if a job was copied over, confirm it's the right one or update it

  • Step content — review messaging to make sure it's appropriate for the new recipient set. Tokens carry over as-is and will generate fresh content per recipient at launch.

  • Schedule — confirm the sending schedule is right for your new audience

Once everything looks right, add recipients and launch. See Launching a Sequence for the full pre-launch checklist.

Cloning a Campaign as a Sequence

If you have existing Campaigns you want to migrate to Sequences, you can clone them directly as a Sequence from the Campaigns tab. The same rules apply — steps and content are copied, recipients are not.
