Guide to Clone Lightning Email Templates in Salesforce Using BOFC

Cloning email templates in Salesforce Lightning can be time-consuming—especially when you need to duplicate multiple templates at once.

Salesforce does not provide a built-in way to perform bulk actions like cloning, which means admins often end up repeating the same steps again and again.

Why Cloning Templates in Salesforce is Challenging

Before we begin, let’s quickly understand the limitations.

In Salesforce Lightning:

• You cannot clone multiple email templates at once
• There is no bulk action for templates
• Each template must be handled manually

This becomes inefficient when working with large sets of templates.
