Importing or exporting Node-RED flowsRequires Pro
Import and export Node-RED flows for reuse, backup, and sharing.
Import Node-RED automation flows to use examples or flows created by someone else (see for example Time-line’s Node-RED Example Flows). Export your own flows to share them or keep a backup.
Node-RED exports flows as JSON files.
Import a Flow
Open the Menu (, top right) and select Import — or press ⌘I on Mac / Ctrl-I on Windows.
Paste the flow JSON or click select a file to import.
Choose new flow to add it as its own tab.
Click Import, then Save to make the flow active.
Export a Flow
Open the Menu and select Export — or press ⌘E on Mac / Ctrl-E on Windows.
Choose what you want to export: selected nodes, current flow, or all flows.
Copy to clipboard or Download the flow as a file.
