If you have BrightReps running in two instances, staging and production, you know how important it is to have your flows well duplicated to maintain integrity. Before, that used to be a more manual process, but now you can export flows from one instance, and reimport them in another.

Note: Some CRMs, like Zendesk for example, have global unique IDs for their ticket fields. If you had set up your BrightReps staging instance with your Zendesk staging instance, your ticket field IDs won't work from your BrightReps production instance. After import is complete, you will need to edit the flow to point any Zendesk Update Ticket Fields stepstypes towards your new Zendesk production instance field IDs.
