Duplicate an automation

Reuse a working automation for your next campaign in two clicks — no rebuilding.

Running the same campaign on a new post used to mean rebuilding the whole automation by hand. Duplicate copies everything that worked — keyword, messages, buttons, email capture — so you only choose where it runs.

How to duplicate

  1. 1

    Find the automation

    On the Automations page, click the copy icon next to the automation you want to reuse.
  2. 2

    Pick the posts

    A new automation opens with all settings pre-filled. Only the post selection is empty — choose the post(s) for the new campaign (or All posts / Next post).
  3. 3

    Adjust and save

    Tweak anything you like — keyword, message, buttons — then save. The original stays untouched and keeps running.

What gets copied (and what isn't)

  • Copied: automation type, keywords, DM and comment-reply messages (including their AI-generated variations — nothing is regenerated unless you edit the text), action buttons, email capture, follow requirement, AI reply settings, and language.
  • Not copied: the post selection (you choose fresh), statistics, and any "waiting for next post" state.
  • Keep in mind: two active automations can't use the same keyword on the same posts — Komently will warn you if the copy would clash with the original.

When it shines

  • Weekly campaigns — same "comment GUIDE" funnel, new reel every week.
  • Scheduled posts — after a Next post automation attaches, duplicate it and choose Next post again for the following scheduled post.
  • Second account — copy a proven setup to another connected Instagram account or Facebook page.
  • Safe experiments — duplicate, change the DM copy, and compare results without touching the original.
