    This operation allows you to easily create a channel similar to an existing one.

    By default, the created channel will be completely independent from the source one : all referenced elements (gateways, message definitions and transformations) will also be duplicated. But you can change this in the More options button by specifying element by element if you want to make a copy, share the existing element, use another similar element or even leave it empty.

    

    

    Duplicating a channel

    The duplication can be accessed from the general tab of the channel detail screen, or from the create channel screen. You have to use this second location if you want to use as source channel a channel from a different environment than the current one.

    How to Duplicate a channel from one environment to another environment

    To be able to duplicate a channel from one environment to another environment your user must have one of the Environment access levels mentioned below:

    • Account Administrator (Full access)
    • Channel Manager
    • Monitoring

    Note: If a user has a 'Portal user' Environment access level, he can't duplicate a Channel from one environment to another environment.
