You can clone an existing integration to create an exact copy for making, auditing, or testing changes in any environment.

Important

Remember, for Integration Lifecycle Management specifically, cloning is done at the integration level, not the flow level. You can't clone one flow; you must clone the entire integration. You can still change a flow; however, this restriction means you must clone the entire integration to manage or test a flow using Integration Lifecycle Management.

Don't forget that you can leverage concurrencies and multiple connections to help your integrations run smoothly.

You must have Manage access to the specific integration to create a clone. To use the pull feature, first create a clone in one of two ways using the existing clone functionality:

Clone an integration

Use the following steps to clone an integration:

Ensure you're in the correct environment by looking for the environment name at the top, right-hand side of the screen. If you only have one environment you won't see any other environments available.
On the Home page, go to the integration.
Based on the integration view you use, follow the steps given below.
1. Tile view: Click the overflow (...) menu in the upper-right corner of the tile and select Clone integration.
2. List view: In the Actions column, select Clone integration from the overflow (...) menu.
3. Integration dashboard: Click Clone integration.
In the Clone integration page, enter details.
1. Name: Enter a unique name for the clone. Make sure that it is unique enough that you can identify it later. You can always rename your integration tile or flow outside of the cloning process.
2. Environment: Select your environment. Only active environments you have Manage access to (or above) are visible. After cloning to a new environment, you must complete the setup steps; however, you can choose to complete the setup later. Learn more about using multiple environments.
Review the list of all cloned items contained within the new integration.
Click Clone integration at the bottom of the list of cloned integration components.
If you've successfully cloned your integration, you'll see a success message asking if you'd like to configure your cloned integration now or later. If you've cloned to a different environment, you'll be asked if you want to switch to that environment to configure the integration.

Configure the cloned integration

Depending on the integration, you must complete one or more steps to configure the cloned instance of the integration. Connections are not copied into the cloned integration, so the first step is configuring each app's connections.

For each connector, click the Configure link, then provide the requisite information for the connection and test your connection. See Connector solutions for help setting up connections for particular connectors.

Once you’ve successfully configured your connections, the Integration details page will open, showing all of your data flows. Here, you can turn flows off and on, schedule or run them and modify their field mappings.

Clone using the ZIP file

You can clone an integration using a downloaded integration ZIP file. If you don't have access to the production environment or the integration, you can upload an integration ZIP file sent to you to install the integration as a clone.
