The new sandbox implementation doesn’t include the option to sync workflows. Workflows should either be included in the option of features to sync when creating a sandbox or there should be an option when cloning a workflow to clone it to a sandbox.

Yes, exactly without an option to sync the workflow pretty much the sandbox is useless for some complex testing of workflow logic before applying it on the production.

100% agree. In general, the Sandbox edition is far less powerful than we imagined.

When I create with a lot of effort a workflow and test it out in the sandbox, I want to copy or import it into our production environment, without having the whole effort again, of creating it again.

Thanks

</div>

Yes, thank you for raising this issue. This is the same for our team. If we cannot replicate workflows, the sandbox doesn’t add value for us and not helpful at all.

100% we want to test 4 different workflows without having to switch them on but no option to test them into sandbox without having the whole effort again, of creating it again. please can HubSpot support team create this functionality to make it easier?

I agree! The sandbox is used for testing and integration tests and we need our workflows to minic our main account. We have many workflows that are complex and will take time to copy these over.

YES!  
Being able to sync entirely the production to sandbox is crucial.  
Workflows, forms, configs, everything.
