Importing and Exporting Flows

In Studio, you can create a flow by importing a JSON file and exporting published, draft, and archived flows.

📘

Note

When importing a flow, please be aware that you should check the resources (agents, audio files, among others), to ensure that they match the ones existing in the account. Non-existing or non-matching resources can result in unexpected behavior during the interaction.

Exporting a Flow

  1. On the Flow Manager page, click on the “more options” icon [⋯] [1] of the flow you wish to export.
  2. Select the option Export version [2].
  3. After doing this, a JSON file will be generated and displayed at the bottom of your screen. This JSON file includes general information about the flow and a section for each step configuration.
  4. Keep the file, so you can later import the flow, if necessary.

  1. Alternatively, you can also export a flow from within the Flow Editor page:
  • Click on the “more options” icon [⋯] [1] followed by Export version [2], if you wish to export a draft or an archived version.
  • If you are trying to export an already published flow, click directly on the Export version button.

Note

If a draft version of the flow is already validated and saved, and any changes are made before clicking on the Export version button, a window will be displayed to confirm whether you wish to export the last saved version of the draft or its current version, containing the changes.
