Overview

Folders are used to keep marketing assets organized and easily accessible. Most marketing campaigns require creating landing pages, web forms, automations, emails, postcards, and more. More sophisticated campaigns can use lots of assets. Without a central repository to keep all assets, things can be confusing. Folders can be moved, deleted, renamed and more. While assets can be added, removed, or edited from folders.

How Cloning Works

• All cloned assets and folders will have the following clone token appended to the name in this format: “-clone-yyyy-mm-dd-hhmmss”. The “yyyy-mm-dd-hhmmss” is the date and time the asset/folder was cloned in GMT. For example “Test Clone-clone-2016-08-21-163643”

Cloning Folders

• New folders are created on the root folder level.

• If there is no folder with the same name then the new folder name will be the same as the cloned folder. 

• If there is another folder with the same name then the new folder name will use the name format as mentioned above. 

• All sub folders will be cloned with their original name.

• When cloning a folder all assets inside the folder and all sub folders and assets will be cloned. 

Cloning Assets

1. When cloning an asset a new asset with the same name, appended with the clone token, will be created. For example, if a parent user tries to clone a program with the name “Program A” to a sub account, then the new program will be “Program A-clone-2016-08-22-134300”, where the clone token contains the timestamp the asset was cloned.

2. Items to note when cloning assets linked to other assets.  For example when cloning a campaign, called “Campaign A” that is linked to a program, called “Program A”:

   1. The new campaign will be “Campaign A-clone-2016-08-22-134300”. The system will check if there is a program with the name “Program A-clone-2016-08-22-134300”. If found, then the campaign will be assigned to this program.  If not found, then the system will search for a program with the same name “Program A”. If found the campaign will be assigned to it; otherwise, a new program with the name “Program A-clone-2016-08-22-134300” will get created and assigned to the campaign.

   2. This process ensures cloning of a folder and its content will assign the assets to the new linked assets. 

   3. As a best practice, organize all your linked assets within the same folder so that when cloning a folder to your account (or another account), the new assets will have the same structure.

   4. Examples of linked assets:

      1. Campaigns linked to programs.

      2. Campaign items linked to campaigns where campaign items are assets like webforms, landing pages, automations, email campaigns, etc.

      3. Hosted forms linked to Layout Templates.

      4. Dialogs as a part of Personalizations.

3. Automation and Personalization criteria and actions that use assets will not be complete when cloning to sub accounts. For example, suppose an Automation used the "Submits Webform" criteria and "Send Email" action. When cloning to the same account this criteria/action will be copied with the referenced asset; however, when cloning it to a sub account the referenced assets will not be filled in as the assets may not be cloned. 
4. When cloning Automations and Personalizations always check your criteria to make sure it remains in tact. 
5. Permission checks are applied to cloned assets. When cloning a folder and its content to another account or sub account individual permission checks are performed on each asset to make sure the receiving account has the required permissions for using the asset. For example, when cloning an email campaign, if the receiving account does not have email marketing permissions then the email will not get created.
