Export and import Slack workflows

You can export workflows to share them outside Slack. People that you share the export file with can import the workflow into their workspace or organisation. 

What to expect

• Workflow managers can export workflows that they manage. Anyone with permission to create workflows can import them.
• It’s not currently possible to export workflows containing custom steps, custom triggers or connector steps. Stay tuned for additional export capabilities in the future.
• Owners and admins can disable workflow exports on your workspace or organisation. If you can't see the option to export, find an owner or admin to ask for help.
