Cloning a recipe via Workato Partner API

josh1 — Sat, 06 Aug 2022 01:54:24 GMT

Is there an easy way to clone an existing recipe using the api (similar to clicking "Use this Recipe" on a public recipe). It will be common in our use cases that multiple instances of the same recipe will run with different config parameters. I know that you can probably pull down the code of an existing recipe and then create one off of that, but was wondering if there was a cleaner way to accomplish this.

Add a number sequence to the cloned recipe, enclose it in # so that you can grab the recipe title and extract the sequence.

You can also add a pubsub recipe to route the process to the cloned recipes to spread the job.

If you are simply looking to clone the recipe, you can use the Workato platform API call to copy the recipe:

And then if you wish to rename, you can rename it using the "Update Recipe":

Hopefully this helps.
