Cloning Sources in the Demand Acceleration Platform (DAP) allows you to quickly duplicate a Source, eliminating the need to manually recreate Sources for recurring Cost Per Lead (CPL) Content Syndication Campaigns.
In this article
Before you begin
Create and publish a new CPL Campaign or identify an existing CPL Campaign to associate with the newly cloned Source.
CPL Sources (both Manual Upload and Media Partner types) can be cloned into new Campaigns, reducing the amount of manual effort required to set up a new Campaign.
CPL Sources can be cloned directly from the Sources dashboard or from within an existing CPL Campaign. In either case, the Source cloning process will duplicate all attributes of the original Source, including:
- Fields
- Validation
- General, Suppression, and Domain Lists
- Terms
- Assets
- Integrations
| Previously submitted Leads, Allocations Filled and SO/PO will not be duplicated. |
