Every time you import a template, a new workflow is created. This means that you can import the same template multiple times. Existing workflows won't get overwritten/replaced.

3. Finish setting up the workflow

Follow the instructions on the screen to finish setting up the new workflow. This is also the time to tweak the workflow to your needs.

Tip: look at the Notes the template creater might have left for you at the top of the workflow

Importing a template that someone else shared with you

Every workflow in Relay.app can be turned into a template. This is great if you want to share a workflow with others via social networks or with clients.

To import a template that's shared via link, click the 'Import now' button on the template landing page. Afterwards, finish setting up the workflow.

Make sure you trust the creator of the template and review the actions each step performs before turning it on

The creator of a template will not be able to see/know whom or how many times a template has been viewed, imported, or used.

FAQ

Can the template creator see that I viewed or imported their template?

No. Viewing or importing a template is anonymous, the template creator will not see who imported a template, or how many times it has been imported

Can I import a template multiple times?

Yes, every time a template is imported, it will create a new workflow based on this template. It will never overwrite/replace existing workflows even if they are based on the same template.

Can I selectively import only specific steps from a template?

No, a template is imported as a whole. However, you can easily delete steps that you don't need after importing
