Copy Actions to Other Workflows
This feature enables users to quickly copy workflow actions from one workflow to another, eliminating the need to rebuild similar steps repeatedly. By allowing single or multiple actions to be duplicated in seconds, it ensures consistency and reduces manual errors. Whether you’re managing a complex automation process or a simple notification setup, this capability saves valuable time and streamlines workflow creation across different projects in Mastermind.
