Create a project from template

Developers & API

Is there a way to create a project from a template? I have a project currently set as a template, and would like to create new projects from it using the API.

The only thing I found regarding templates is setting a project as a template with this(which is not what I am looking for):

PATCH /workspaces/{workspaceId}/projects/{projectId}/template

Thanks

Hi Jordan,

With the current API documentation is not possible to create a project from the template via API. I will forward your feedback as a feature request to our Product team so they can have it in mind for future development.

Cheers,

+1. Without this I will need to read all the tasks from the project template and then use these when creating my new project, which is a pain. Would be great just to specify a project template ID upon creation of a new project.

Definately a useful addition to the API. We’d love to create projects automatically when they are tiggered by our other systems, but they’d need the template specifying.

Hi, is there an update on this? It has been over a year and it would be very useful to have this feature for our company’s automation.

Hi, still looking for this addition. I’m trying to add tasks to a newly created project via a zapier loop. It appears to work correctly in Zapier, but is very task hungry and expensive (47 tasks per standard project) and seems to fail to add a subset of tasks for no obvious reason (the audit in Zapier appears OK). It’d be SOOOOO much easire just to create a project from a template via the API. It’s such a common task. New standard project gets set up in an external project management system ----> add it to clockify so staff can log their hours against it. Please add this API modifictaion ASAP. Roland
