Copying Workflows Between Flomenco Instances

How to move nodes and workflows between different environments

Overview

Flomenco makes it easy to move workflows between different environments, such as Stage and Production. While there isn’t a dedicated feature for full-environment migration, copying workflows between instances can be done quickly with the Flomenco Editor.

This guide outlines the recommended process for copying a workflow from one Flomenco instance to another (e.g., from Production to Stage).


Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Open Both Workflows Side-by-Side
    1. Open two browser windows or tabs—one with the target (Stage) workflow, and one with the source (Production) workflow.

  1. Clear the Target Workflow
    1. In the Stage environment, open the workflow you wish to update. Select all existing nodes (Ctrl + A / Cmd + A) and press the Delete key to remove them.

  1. Copy from the Source Workflow
    1. In the Production environment, open the workflow you want to copy from. Select all nodes (Ctrl + A / Cmd + A) and copy them (Ctrl + C / Cmd + C).

  1. Paste into the Target Workflow
    1. Switch to the Stage workflow and paste the copied nodes (Ctrl + V / Cmd + V).

  1. Update Credentials
    1. After pasting, go through each node and assign the appropriate credentials available in the Stage environment. Flomenco does not automatically carry over credentials between instances for security and environment separation reasons.


Notes

  • Workflow Settings: Workflow-level settings such as the name, tags, and active status may need to be reconfigured manually.
  • Variables & Webhooks: Double-check any environment-specific variables or webhook URLs that may differ between Stage and Production.
