When using the WhatsApp API to clone a Flow, you might encounter the error: Only one clone source can be set.

You provided values for both clone\_flow\_id and clone\_template.

This occurs when both clone\_flow\_id and clone\_template parameters are included in your request. Since the API only allows one source for cloning, specifying both causes a conflict.

## How to Fix It?

To resolve this, modify your request to include only one of these parameters:

### 1\. If You Want to Clone an Existing Flow

Use clone\_flow\_id and remove clone\_template:

```
{
  "clone_flow_id": "1234567890",
  "other_parameters": "value"
}
```

### 2\. If You Want to Clone a Template

Use clone\_template and remove clone\_flow\_id:

```
{
  "clone_template": "welcome_message_template",
  "other_parameters": "value"
}
```

This error is simple to fix by ensuring that only one cloning source is set in your request. For more insights related to WhatsApp Business API, check out [heltar.com/blogs](http://heltar.com/blogs).
