I’m wondering if there is a way or 3rd party service available to backup our scenarios?


:reply: :reply: :reply:

You can always back up your scenarios by saving a blueprint. There’s an option to save the blueprints manually or to create a simple Make scenario that can save the blueprints for you.

Manually exporting/importing your blueprints

  • click the three dots at the bottom of the editor
  • export the blueprint to your computer
  • import the json file to the Make builder to further work with the scenario

Is it possible to edit the JSON before import, e.g. to add templated steps or to batch update text?
Is the JSON suitable for versioning as is (e.g. is order stable)?

Return a “JSON String” instead.

Add a “Text parser” module.

How would your replace a bunch of values instead of just one 1, text-parser replace only 1 value to change?

I am doing this scenario. The contents of the files are all “null”. Any idea how to fix this?
