How to quickly duplicate automations to replicate processes without rebuilding from scratch

Rebuilding a complex automation from scratch, field by field, raises the risk of forgetting a condition. Jestor solves this with automation cloning: the copy preserves all the original logic and is born turned off, for safety.

What is cloning with an inactive copy, and why does it exist?

Cloning is replicating an existing rule — conditions and actions preserved — but the copy is always born turned off, to prevent two automations from running in parallel by accident.

Automation	State when created	Duplicate-execution risk
Original	Keeps its previous state	None
Duplicated copy	Always born turned off	Eliminated by default

How to duplicate an automation in Jestor

One click to clone: a duplicate button right on the automation itself.
Conditions and actions preserved: all the original logic is replicated.
Copy always inactive: manual activation required after review.
Easy deletion: remove the copy directly from the same panel.

How to configure it in Jestor: open the original automation, click duplicate, and manually activate it after adjusting the filter or detail that changes.

Why choose Jestor for this kind of cloning?

The key differentiator is safety by default: the copy is born turned off, eliminating the risk of two automations doing the same thing at the same time — useful for anyone scaling similar processes across teams or projects.

In Jestor's side menu, you can turn off the colored background behind app icons, leaving only the icon visible — a more minimalist look for anyone who prefers a cleaner menu. Why does removing the icon background change the menu experience? By default, every app icon in the side

Can a blurred background be used in a form to keep a background image readable?

Yes. Among Jestor's form style options is a blur option for the background: when there's an image behind the form, the blur softens that image to improve the readability of the content, while keeping the image visible behind it. Why does a background image without blur
