# Copy form

> Copy a form into your own account, optionally under a new name. Inputs, cURL, Python and Node.js examples and an example response.

Source: https://cotlet.dev/docs/api/formstack/copy_form

Docs sections: [Get started](https://cotlet.dev/docs.md) · [REST API](https://cotlet.dev/docs/api.md) · [MCP](https://cotlet.dev/docs/mcp.md) · [SDKs & CLI](https://cotlet.dev/docs/sdks.md) · [Integrations](https://cotlet.dev/docs/integrations.md)

Copy a form into your own account, optionally under a new name.

Formstack API: https://cotlet.dev/docs/api/formstack.md

`POST https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/formstack/forms/{form_id}/copy`

Access: write. Confirm: waits for the user's OK before it runs.

Makes a copy of the form in your own account, the same as Copy > My Account in the Forms tab. Formstack names it after the original with "- COPY" added; pass name to rename it. The copy lands in the original's folder and the original is not changed. It counts toward the form allowance of your plan, and a copy you do not want is deleted by hand in Formstack. Copying to another account is not part of this tool. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `form_id` | string | yes | Form ID from list_forms. |
| `name` | string | no | Name for the copy. Default: the original name with "- COPY" added. |

## For AI agents: sign your user up

Is your user asking you to sign them up for Cotlet? You can do it for them, no account or key needed.

1. Read the fields and their allowed values: GET https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/access-requests
2. Ask the user for each value: email, apps, what you will do with them. If they leave the password to you, generate a strong one and show it to them.
3. Show the user what you will send, then POST it as JSON to https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/access-requests.

One call creates the account and sends the access request; we email the user when access is granted.
