Export
Select Export in the editor. You get the draft as a JSON file. Anyone who can see the workspace can export. The file contains no connection values. It lists the steps that used a connection so that you know where to choose one again.
Import
In the Flows tab select From template or file and choose a file. Collabase also reads flow files exported by other automation tools. The result is a draft:
- A plug that is not installed shows as an open issue on its step.
- Connections come back empty.
- A file that is not a flow creates nothing and shows an error.
Files up to 2 MB are accepted.
Templates
The same dialog lists templates. The bundled ones cover common Collabase tasks, such as notifying people about a new work item. System administrators can save the draft of a flow as an instance template with Save as template in the editor. A template holds no connections. Starting from a template whose plug is missing creates the draft with the gap marked.
