Overview
Duplicating a campaign in Smartlead helps you quickly copy an existing campaign—including all email sequences, settings, and subsequences—to save time and ensure consistency when launching similar campaigns.
Why Use Campaign Duplication?
Save Time: Avoid rebuilding campaigns from scratch by copying all configurations at once.
Maintain Consistency: Keep the exact same email sequences and subsequence settings without manual setup.
Scale Efficiently: Quickly launch new campaigns based on your proven workflows in earlier campaigns.
How to Duplicate a Campaign
Log in to your Smartlead account.
Go to Email Campaigns.
Find the campaign → click the three dots (⋯).
Select Duplicate.
In the pop‑up, choose whether to copy subsequences by ticking the option.
A new campaign is created with the same settings — rename if needed.
What Is Included in the Duplication?
