does anyone know a way to quickly copy journeys from Journey Builder from one business unit to another one?

It would be a huge time saver when we're setting up new journeys on separate business units that follow the same logic and have a complicated structure. I imagine it would be possible either via API or with some external tools that utilize the API to perform the action.

I've managed to read the json structure of a specific journey with the following API calls:

  • GET /interaction/v1/interactions (to get the list of journeys on a MID and the ID of the journey that I want to retrieve)
  • GET /interaction/v1/interactions/{id} (to retrieve the chosen journey)

Is it somehow possible to use the returned JSON to create a clone in a different business unit? I imagine that it might not be immediately possible to copy and publish immediately, but even being able to copy as a draft on another business unit would be helpful and less prone to human error.

Has anyone done something similar in the past to streamline their work?

  • I'm guessing no, but don't let that deter you from giving it a shot. Journey templates are just around the corner, so it may lessen the need to do what you're talking about.

    Hi, Adam, thanks for the answer. Journey templates could indeed be helpful. It might be a fun project to test the API and coding skills and I might attempt to develop something like this in the future.

  • Hey @rafal were you able to achieve this ? We are currently facing the same situation where we need to clone journeys to different BU's.

    Hey @Vic, I sadly had to abandon the search due to time constraints. I can say I managed to clone a journey without the entry event within a business unit (should be possible to post it a different BU as well). You need to do the following: get the token, retrieve all journeys from a given BU, find the journey you want cloned and retrieve the Journey ID, get the Journey based on the ID, insert the journey where you want it.

    @Vic, I just noticed that you should be able to retrieve the entry event as well (and possibly insert it into a clone): salesforce.stackexchange.com/questions/71132/…? This might lead you to a proper solution.
