Overview #
Import & Export allows you to package an Agent's entire configuration and move it to a different environment — for example, from a staging (test) setup to a production (live) setup. This saves time and ensures consistency.
Why This Matters #
- Saves time — No need to rebuild an Agent from scratch in a new environment
- Ensures consistency — The same configuration is used everywhere
- Reduces errors — Avoids manual mistakes when recreating complex Journeys
- Supports scaling — Easily duplicate proven Agents across Brands or regions
How It Works #
Exporting an Agent #
- Open the Agent you want to export.
- Click Export (or the export option in the menu).
- The system generates a file containing the Agent's full configuration.
- Save the file.
Importing an Agent #
- Go to the target environment (e.g., production).
- Click Import Agent.
- Upload the exported file.
- Review the imported configuration.
- Test the Agent with a test Candidate before making it live.
What Gets Exported #
When you export an Agent, the file typically includes:
- Agent name and settings
- Path structure and Step order
- Step configurations (forms, messages, options, etc.)
- Compatibility Match settings and weights
- Completion and timeout configuration
- Appearance and branding settings
What You Need to Check After Import #
Some settings may need to be updated in the new environment:
- Email addresses — Sender addresses may differ between environments
- Webhook URLs — External system endpoints may have different addresses
- Signing templates — Document templates may need to be reconnected
- Brand assignment — Make sure the Agent is assigned to the correct Brand
- Gate connections — Gates may need to be reconfigured for the new environment
Step-by-Step: Safe Import Process #
- Export from the source environment.
- Import into the target environment.
- Review all Steps and settings.
- Update any environment-specific settings (emails, webhooks, etc.).
- Run a full test with a test Candidate.
- Only then, make the Agent live.
Common Mistakes #
- Importing and going live without testing first
- Forgetting to update email or webhook settings for the new environment
- Overwriting an active Agent without checking what will change
- Ignoring warning messages during import
- Skipping the test run after import
