Feed Cloning lets you duplicate an enabled data feed, carrying over its full configuration and credentials into a new feed. This saves you from re-entering connection details when you need the same feed.
When to Use Feed Cloning
Splitting event types across feeds: break a single feed that ingests multiple event types into separate feeds, each scoped to a subset of event types.
Starting a new feed from a known-good configuration: spin up a new feed without re-entering API endpoints, authorization details, or credentials.
How To Clone a Feed
Navigate to the Data Feeds page.
Click the feed you want to clone. A slide out drawer opens with some feed details. At the top row of action icons, click on the Clone Feed icon.
The Configure Data Feed form opens, prefilled with the same configuration except for the Data Feed Name. The Data Feed Name is the only field that changes automatically. DataBee appends (CLONED) to it.
Adjust any other configuration as needed- for example, narrow the Event Types field if you're splitting a feed by event type.
When you are ready, either:
Save Draft if you don’t want to enable it immediately or
Test Connection then Submit to start the feed.
Your cloned feed now appears on the Data Feeds page.
Good to Know
Because a cloned feed inherits the original's credentials, both feeds will authenticate against the same source using the same API key or token. If the source enforces rate limits, running both feeds running simultaneously on all events may cause one or both to be throttled.
