Exporting/Importing Workflows between Client Accounts

Sebastian Björkemar
As agency owners we want to be able to quickly import workflows from an existing client and just switch out a couple of things when creating a new client. This will make onboarding so much faster.

Import/Export/Modify Workflows as JSON (James Hurst)

## Feature Request: Workflow Export/Import as JSON (Beyond Snapshots)
The Gap:
Snapshots can copy workflows between subaccounts, which is great for full account cloning. But snapshots are all-or-nothing — you cannot export a single workflow as a standalone, editable file. There is no way to:
- Open a workflow as structured data and programmatically modify it
- Version control individual workflows in git
- Diff two versions of a workflow to see what changed
- Let AI read and edit workflow logic, copy, timing, or conditions
What JSON Export Would Add on Top of Snapshots:
Export any individual workflow as a human-readable JSON file containing triggers, actions, filters, connections, and copy. Not a binary blob or opaque snapshot — actual structured data you can read and manipulate.
Why This Matters Now — The AI Angle:
If a workflow is JSON, AI can work with it directly:
- "Change the follow-up SMS from 24 hours to 48 hours"
- "Add a condition: only fire if the contact has a phone number"
- "Translate all the copy to Spanish"
- "Build me a 5-step lead nurture sequence from this description"
This is not possible with snapshots. Snapshots move workflows, but JSON makes workflows
programmable
. N8N does this with blueprints — export, import, version control, share, and modify workflows as files. The visual builder is great for designing workflows. JSON export is what makes them scalable.Summary:
Snapshots solve deployment. JSON export solves iteration, version control, AI editing, and template sharing at the individual workflow level. They complement each other.

This would be an incredible upgrade to workflows!

✅ Ability to import from existing workflow

Iver Aune
We can copy a workflow, but then you have to move folders etc...
Would be easier to just import a existing workflow like we can with a campaign.

I can help with importing and won't cost much. If interested drop a text

Adebayo Alex It should be feature to use existing workflow when creating a new one.
