# Clone Channels

{% hint style="info" %}
Cloning channels allows users to create a new channel with the properties of an existing one.
{% endhint %}

## Use Cases of Clone Channels

Say you created a chatbot sequence on a Messenger channel. You want to transfer the same sequences and rules to a new webchat channel. Cloning will help you copy-paste the properties in one click.

### Clone within the Same Platform

#### **Example**: Messenger to Messenger

You want to copy the channel properties of a Messenger channel to a new Messenger channel. In this case, cloning will take place without limitations.

### Clone within Different Platforms

#### **Example**: Messenger to Telegram

[Not all platforms support all types of chatbot blocks](https://docs.myalice.ai/myalice-guide-arabic/chatbot-and-automation/chatbot-blocks/support-blocks). So, if you want to copy the channel properties of a Messenger channel to a Telegram channel, some blocks may be disabled due to platform limitations. 

## How to Clone Channels

2. Click on **Connect** from the list of options.
3. Follow the [regular connection flow](https://docs.myalice.ai/myalice-guide-arabic/myalice-channels/connect-social-media) as per your selected channel.
