Duplicating a board with integrations
When you duplicate a board with one or more integrations, the integrations will be inactive on the duplicated board. You need to activate them manually to make them functional. In the following steps, we will guide you on reactivating integrations on a newly duplicated board.
Once you have duplicated a board with an active integration, a blue pop-up will appear on the duplicated board to inform you of this. To activate the integration, click the “Activate” button, as illustrated below.
After clicking on “Activate,” you will be taken to the Integrations Center, where you can activate each integration recipe on your newly duplicated board by clicking on the “Activate” button located on the right side of each integration recipe.
