How to Clone Classic Email Templates in Salesforce? (Step-by-Step Guide)

Managing Classic email templates in Salesforce can quickly become repetitive—especially when you need to duplicate multiple templates for different use cases.

While Salesforce allows you to clone a single template, it does not support bulk cloning. This makes the process time-consuming for admins handling large numbers of templates.

In this guide, you’ll learn how to Clone Classic email templates efficiently using BOFC.

The Limitation in Salesforce Classic

Salesforce provides a basic option to clone individual email templates:

• Open a template
• Click Clone
• Save it with a new name
