Import from Neurons (Feature)

If you have previously created workflows in Neurons (Feature) before the introduction of Neurons Bots, you have the option to import them.

You can only import one Neuron at a time, because each stage needs to be converted to the equivalent stage in Neurons Bots and may need some settings updated. If this is the case, you will receive a message to inform you of which stages need updating and why.

  1. Navigate to Neurons Bots in the Neurons platform menu. The Neurons Bots homepage displays.
  2. On the Neurons Bots homepage, select Import from Neurons. The Import Neuron dialog displays.

  4. Select a Neuron that you want to import. The Import Summary dialog displays.
  5. The Import Summary dialog displays a list of all the stages in the Neuron. Each stage has the import status listed: successful or action required. If an action is required, the Notes column provides further detail on what settings you need to update to make the stage compatible with Neurons Bots.
  6. Close the Import Summary dialog. The Neurons Bot editor displays the imported bot. The banners at the top of the page inform you of what actions you need to take. The stages that require your attention have a red border.
