Import or export a data action for integrations

Note: This article applies to the AWS Lambda, Genesys Cloud, Google, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Salesforce, web services, and Zendesk data actions integrations.

You can reuse data actions within a Genesys Cloud organization and across Genesys Cloud organizations. For reuse within an integration, copy the data action. For more information, see Edit, copy, export, or delete a data action. For reuse outside an integration or Genesys Cloud organization, export contracts and configuration from one data action for import into another data action.

To import and export contracts and configuration, click Import and Export on the data actions Summary page. You can also import contracts and configuration from the Actions page.

The Import button uploads a JSON file that contains the contracts and configuration needed for the data action. The Export button downloads a JSON file that contains the contracts and configuration of the data action. 

Warning: Before you send exported files to someone, modify or redact any sensitive data such as hard-coded credentials or API keys.

You can import contracts and configuration to a new data action or to an existing data action.
