# Create Processor

> Create a new processor in Extend, optionally cloning from an existing processor.

This endpoint allows you to create a new processor or clone an existing one. Typically processors are created and configured in the [Extend Studio](/product-reference/studio/overview), but this endpoint can be used to create processors programmatically in order to sync ID's across systems.

### Body

<ParamField body="name" type="string" required>
  The name of the new processor.
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="type" type="string" required>
  The type of the processor.
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="cloneProcessorId" type="string">
  The ID of an existing processor to clone. If provided, a new processor will be
  created that clones the config of this processor.
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="jsonSchemaEnabled" type="boolean">
  Whether to enable JSON Schema config type for the processor. This is only
  necessary if you have access to the legacy "Fields Array" config type. See if
  you have access [here](/product-reference/studio/migrating_to_json_schema).
</ParamField>

### Response

<ResponseField name="success" type="boolean">
  A true or false value indicating whether the processor was created
  successfully or not.
</ResponseField>

<ResponseField name="processor" type="DocumentProcessor">
  A Processor object representing the newly created processor. See the
  [DocumentProcessor object](/api-reference/objects/processor) for more details.
</ResponseField>

### Error Responses

<ResponseField name="success" type="boolean">
  Will be `false` if the request failed.
</ResponseField>

<ResponseField name="error" type="string">
  A description of the error that occurred.
</ResponseField>

#### Possible Common Errors

* **400 Bad Request**: If the request body fails schema validation.
* **404 Not Found**: If the processor to clone (cloneProcessorId) is not found.
