Cloning a deal

Hello, 

 

I know this has been posted multiple times before but have @hubpost developed a way to clone a deal so that we aren't replicating each time, with minor changes?

 

Thank you.

Hi @NMackay,

 

No, this is currently not possible but has been requested by many users before: https://community.hubspot.com/t5/HubSpot-Ideas/How-do-you-duplicate-a-Deal/idi-p/15263

 

The product team reviews these requests based on their popularity, I'd recommend upvoting and commenting. You can also help others find the request more easily (and drive traction) by accepting my reply as a solution. I'd appreciate it, too.

 

As far as workarounds go, you could continue manually, use workflows or leverage third-party integrations: https://ecosystem.hubspot.com/marketplace/apps/productivity/workflow-automation/deal-duplicator-2016...

A note from the moderator: There are a handful of third party apps suggested by Community members in the thread below! While this feature is not yet native in HubSpot, the apps below could be a great alternative. 

 


 

Best regards!

Good news everyone.. Basic Record Cloning is now in Private Beta 🎉  Shout out to @NazM and the enitre product team for working on bringing this to HubSpot.  Here's more detail:

What is it?

Introducing record cloning, users can now create a new record based on an existing record. Any of the properties and associations that are configured in the create form of the object may be included in the new record.

Why does it matter?

All or part of records may be reusable. Today, users have to do the hard work of copying information from one record to another because they can't clone records. With this update, users are able to duplicate CRM records (Contact, Company, Deal, Ticket, custom objects, Appointments, Listings, Services, and Courses) from their record page. Cloning is an essential feature that saves time and minimizes the risk of mistakes from manual input.

How does it work?

When viewing a record, users with permission to create a new record will find a new option in the Actions dropdown menu. The Clone action starts the record creation with properties and associations pre-filled from the source record.

@STowson9 Let me also chime in here, as I’ve been in this domain for over 2 years. By default, attachments (PDFs, images, etc.) are files, meaning they are stored in the HubSpot library. These files are not physically cloned when you duplicate a deal, because having 5, 10, or more copies of the same file could get messy.

 

Essentially, when you see attachments in your deals, they appear due to relations and are displayed in the deal view.

 

That said, I want to mention that I own CloneNer (full disclosure). For those who need more than the basic clone feature, CloneNer allows you to keep the relation to attachments - effectively “cloning attachments” and choose which one to clone - and much more. Give it try.

 

Best regards!

Hi Alex

 

Thats the monthly cost for the portal, all the users on the portal will have the ability to use Object Duplicator for this cost.

Happy duplicating / deal cloning.

Any other questions don't hesitate to let me know.

 

Many Thanks

Dave

I'm currently trialing Deal Duplicator.
Is it possible I can try yours for free for a week or two? How does the billing work? We would want the invoice to go to a different email address than our HubSpot invoice and pay with a different credit card. Is this possible?

Happy to give you access.... I'll DM you a code that you can redeem in the app.

After purchase though, its a monthly subscription, and the invoice will be sent to the account that links the app in the portal, and you can update and change payment methods at anytime.

 

Hope this helps.

Many Thanks
Dave

@Dolphin-Alex 

just to bring some diversity here, I’d like to ask—have you had a chance to test-drive our CloneNer app? It’s a certified app with a 5+ customer satisfaction rating across reviews. Recently, the team released a few cool features, like cloning templates and more!

 

Warm regards,
John

Thanks for posting. This is pretty rudimentary functionality. I was a developer for many years before moving into sales and Microsoft CRM (Dynamics' predicessor) was able to do this 15 years ago. Hubspot really needs to get onto this one.

Completely agree.  Seems like very basic functionality.
