Copy an automation block between workflows

It would be nice if we could copy blocks between workflows currently we can duplicate workflows and then modify them however that is not always practical. To give one example:
I am currently trying the concept of building an automation/workflow log with a record for every workflow and their relationship with others, to facilitate I am adding an automation to the top of workflows that checks if the workflow exists in the Log and if it doesn’t it creates it with all the workflow and app info this all happens in a single script block so that it is relatively easy to add to the top of existing workflows however it would be a lot easier if I could copy the whole block rather than just the contained script.

Obviously, my example is quite a niche however I have had other occasions when I have wished it was possible I just can’t think of a good example right now

Is this possible? if so I will make the switch from Podio. If not it will be to much of a hassle.

Hi @buildingwealth,

first of all a very warm welcome to the tape community, we are really happy that you are here!
We would of course be very happy if you switch from Podio to Tape. You can currently duplicate entire automations and then delete the unnecessary actions, copying individual automation blocks is a feature that we want to offer in the future.

I have described this for you here.

The migration tool from Podio to Tape by @jacquelynmay could give you a head start. You can find it here:

Best regards
Leo
