# Duplicate workflow

> Copy a version of a workflow into a new workflow (its first draft), in the same or another region, with its schedules.

Source: https://docs.stacksync.com/api-reference/workflows/duplicate_workflow

`POST https://api.stacksync.com/v1/workspaces/{workspace_id}/workflows/{workflow_id}/duplicate`

- Operation: `duplicate_workflow`
- Resource: Workflows
- Access: writes data

## Authentication

- `Authorization: Bearer <key>`: A workspace API key (workspace_…, created by a workspace owner under Workspace settings > Stacksync API) acts with editor rights on that workspace only; a user API key (user_…, created under Profile > Stacksync API) acts as that user in every workspace they belong to. POST, PUT and PATCH requests must send Content-Type: application/json. Every authentication failure answers 403.
- `Content-Type: application/json` on every request with a body.

## Path parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `workspace_id` | integer | Yes | The workspace. List the ones your key can reach with GET /v1/workspaces. |
| `workflow_id` | string (uuid) | Yes | The workflow. |

## Query parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `region` | string (besg \| usnv) | Yes | Region of the resource: besg (Europe) or usnv (United States), as GET /v1/regions lists them |

## Header parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `Idempotency-Key` | string \| null | No | Makes the create retry-safe for 24 hours: a retry with the same key answers the resource the first call created, with the Idempotent-Replayed: true header, and creates nothing. 1 to 255 visible ASCII characters. The same key with a different request answers 422; while the first call still runs, 409. |

## Request body

`application/json`

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `workflow_name` | string, 1 to 200 characters | Yes |  |
| `is_shared_with_workspace` | boolean \| null | No |  |
| `version` | string \| null | No | The version copied; the latest when absent |
| `copy_region` | string (besg \| usnv) \| null | No | The region of the copy; the workflow's region when absent |
| `validate_only` | boolean, default false | No | Run every check of the write and answer 204 without writing: a refused write answers the error the write would |
