Exporting a flow creates a JSON version of the flow. You can use this file to:

  • Copy flows between your different environments, such as between test and production

  • Create backups or store flows in external version control systems

  • Share the flow with colleagues who use a different environment

Ping support might also request flows for troubleshooting purposes.

  1. Click the Flows tab.
  2. Open the flow that you want to export.
  3. Choose one of the export options:
    • To export the current version, click More options (⋮) > Download Flow JSON.
    • To export a previous version, click More options (⋮) > Flow Versions, locate the version that you want to export, and click ... > Download Flow JSON.
  4. Optional: Select Include Variable Values to include the current values of company or flow variables that are used in the flow.
    Important:

    Because variables can contain secret or proprietary information, only use this option for flows that you do not plan to share outside of your organization.

  5. Optional: If the flow uses subflows, select Include Subflows to include the subflows in the JSON file.

    If you plan to import the flow into another environment for a second time, you can disable this option to avoid re-importing the subflows.

  6. Click Export.
