Copy And Paste Automation Across Projects Smartsheet Guide
Copy project automations fast and without errors.
- •Move complete automation workflows between project sheets in seconds so every project uses the same rules without rebuilding them.
- •Use SSFeatures copy and paste buttons inside Smartsheet's automation dialog to transfer complex triggers and actions with smart column mapping, even across regions.
- •Save hours each week on repeat tasks.
I'm going to show you how to copy and paste automation workflows in Smartsheet. First, download SSFeatures. Then open your automation workflow. Click the copy button in the top right corner. Close this automation. Click the \"Create from scratch\" button to create a new automation. Click the paste button and SSFeatures will paste the automation for you. You can use this to copy and paste automation workflows between sheets and accounts.
Use Cases
Managing Multiple Sheets - When you have several sheets based on the same template, you can copy an automation workflow once and paste it across all of them without manual duplication.
Scaling Workflows Quickly - For large teams or consultants who manage many projects, you can scale automation rules faster by reusing existing workflows instead of rebuilding them each time.
Reducing Errors - By copying and pasting complex workflows, you minimize mistakes that often occur when recreating detailed rules by hand.

Hear what users say
"We wouldn't love Smartsheet nearly as much without SSFeature's PDF Generator!! Our business depends on printed Smartsheet reports. SSFeatures has allowed us to successfully continue scaling on Smartsheets without printing workarounds. Our team members that rely on our reports are way happier ever since we started using the PDF Generator. It's great to see there are 3rd parties willing to fill critical gaps in Smartsheet."
Ari Diamond
President of Railing Excellence
"SSFeatures has been a game-changer for our Smartsheet workflows! It’s super easy to use and adds powerful functionality that makes automation and reporting so much more efficient. The developer is incredibly responsive and provides top-notch customer support, making sure everything runs smoothly. It has saved us a ton of time and eliminated a lot of manual work. If you’re looking to get more out of Smartsheet, I highly recommend giving SSFeatures a try!"
Michelle Choate
Senior Manager of Operations at Impact Housing
"Finally found a solution to handle some of the features I have been waiting on for a long time... So grateful to SSFeatures for the Auto-Sort function that has dramatically improved our experience with DataShuttle > Update Dropdowns feature so they are always alphabetized. Column finding/hiding is awesome! Keep up the great work - saving me hours!!!"
Joe Morrell
Independent Consultant at Morrell Consulting
"I love that someone added features that Smartsheet seems to be unable or unwilling to add."
Ryan Ballew
Program Manager at Verizon
"PHENOMINAL app! A no brainer purchase for any Smartsheet super-user. Auto-sorting a sheet, printing or exporting a grouped/summarized report, SEARCHING FOR COLUMNS BY NAME! All in one packaged app that's controlled within Smartsheet. Amazing. Highly, highly, highly recommend."
Kayla Sweeney
Smartsheet Solutions Consultant at Better Work Week
"All the SS Features are great but for us the PDF Generator was a huge game changer, a large percentage of our work depends on printed reports and the support of PDF generation for smartsheet reports while keeping the grouping & summaries was a must have."
