Solution

To export the tenant settings, including forms and flows, use one of the following commands

  • To export as a directory: a0deploy export -c config.json -f directory -o tenant-settings-directory
  • To export in yaml format: a0deploy export -c config.json --format=yaml --output_folder=tenant-settings-folder

To import these using a yaml file, include the following information in the file:

forms:

- name: Form1

body: ./forms/form1.json

- name: Form2

body: ./forms/form2.json

flows:

- name: Flow1

body: ./flows/flow1.json

- name: Flow2

body: ./flows/flow2.json

For yaml and directory imports, ensure the following prerequisites are met:

  1. Ensure the forms to be imported are saved as .json files within the forms folder.
  2. Ensure the flows to be imported are saved as .json files within the flows folder.

To import or export only specific items, use the AUTH0_INCLUDED_ONLY configuration variable, specifying 'forms' or 'flows' as elements within its array.
