Cloning a Deal

[cfleishman]

Need to be able to clone an individual deal. This is helpful for recurring revenue organizations and building MRR. Please!

Hey HubSpot Community,
Here to share an un-fun update. We explored Cloning Deals in the second half of 2023 but are not ready to execute yet. Projects like this seem easy on the surface, but both technical and customer experience implications really matter. We're committed to providing the best experience, and sometimes that means taking extra time to do so. I know this is still a pressing need, and plan to make strides this year. In the meantime, as folks on this thread have mentioned, either using a workflow or an app like Deal Duplicator are your, admittedly not perfect, best options.

Hi HubSpot Community great news! Our product team is prioritizing this feature and actively working on a solution. To help us better understand what exactly you'd like to clone (e.g. properties, associations, activities), could you please take this short survey? Thank you!

*Update: Survey link has been fixed, please let me know if you're still not able to access it.

Hello HubSpot Community, 

Thank you all for your incredible patience. We reckon an update is warranted. 

Unfortunately, this idea remains unplanned. The team is currently planning some really valuable, high-impact features (e.g. team goals, deal overlays, color coding the deals board) that fall higher on the priority list. We can't take this on. But we understand the need and see the value in a cloning feature. 

Fortunately, there's a workaround. You can use workflows to create a new deal and copy data from the existing deal. 

Thank you for making HubSpot CRM a better tool.

Hello HubSpot community,

Thank you for your continued feedack here. I wanted to provide an update on the status of this idea. Cloning a deal is absolutely on a list of things we’d like to do. However, the list is long and time and resources are limited, so building this functionality is ultimately a question of priorities, and this is a lower priority compared to some of the other things we’re working on right now. We're continuing to keep an eye on the use cases provided in this idea and are always re-evaluating our top priorities, I'll be sure to update this thread when this is a more near-term priority.

Hello HubSpot community, 

Thank you for your continued input on this idea. As I mentioned in a previous post, saving reps time is squarely in the realm of things we are thinking about on the HubSpot Product Team. 

To help us continue to deliver a product that helps your business grow better, could you answer this 3 question (only 1 required) survey about your detailed needs for cloning deals? 

Thank you in advance!

Another upvote - Had another customer request this

[rubenkos]

Yep. Still not sorted?

[PaulBickley]

+ 1 here. Simply deploy and feature to build. Please, hurry up. 

[traceg]

This would be a great feature!

[nogakatz]

We need that too.

[MichelBelfiore]

Yes. This very basic functionality needs to be in HubSpot. I have deals that repeat with slight variations for the same customers and it would save a lot of time to be able to simply clone an existing deal to create a new one, and then modify the new one slightly as needed. Trello, my previous tool for tracking deals, makes this very easy. Anyone from HubSpot able to weigh in here?

Requirement for productivity improvement:

faster to clone when doing monthly recurring deals, 

[BlancaWT]

We would use this really often. Currently, I need to create a new deal for each renewal, which often has the same properties. Would love to be able to clone a deal for the same client or to assign to a new client. 

[RafaelAbboud]

This is extremely necessary

[Edna]

Hello, I need also the option to clone a deal. It will be very helpful to work that way. Tnx. Edna

[Peloton21]

Need this!

[DD_MSM]

Yes Please! Cloning a deal is super critical to have as a feature for repetitive deals that flow across multiple months or periods with similar or near similar properties, products, etc. 

[dc-usa]

Has there been any feedback from Hubspot on when they plan on adding this? 

[isabellb]

agreed

[KLio]

Yes please! 

[MRPR]

Yes please!

[schesley]

@jsg121 any update on the planning? I'm adding this comment as an upvote and also thumbed up.

[Skelly126]

AGREED! Today I had to create 18 new deals because I couldn't clone the original deal. 

[GregDuffy]

Yes, we would like to be able to clone a deal, too.

Best wishes

Greg
