❓ FAQs

Can I duplicate a bot flow to a different WhatsApp number?
 Yes. You can duplicate or import a flow to any number connected in your BotSailor account, as long as the new number has access to the required templates and features.

What happens if my exported bot uses a message template that doesn’t exist in the new number?
 The imported bot will not work properly until you reassign or recreate the required WhatsApp templates under the new number.

Can I export multiple bot flows at once?
 Currently, flows must be exported individually. Bulk export/import may be added in future updates.

Are all components (buttons, variables, conditions) included in export/import?
 Yes, all logic, buttons, conditions, and variable references are included. However, sensitive data and credentials are stripped for safety.

Is it safe to share exported JSON files with others?
