Export a Bot Solution to another Tenant / Environment

Posted on by scottyb

Firstly, great application you have built - it really seems to have made it easier to build and deploy bots than use .NET and the Bot Framework to make simple bot solutions.

However I have a question in relation to exporting a bot to another tenant, as we may have a requirement where we build a Bot for a customer requirement in our tenant and then need to export it into their own tenant or environment- in a similar way in that Flow can export and then be imported.

I have checked the 'Deploy' area and see no ability to export / import the bot, so I wondered if this is possible and if so, are there any constraints to consider - such as having built Flow integrations within the bot etc.

Thanks!

Hi ScottyB

There is no import/export functionality yet its on the roadmap I believe.

Also be careful as you cannot rename BOTs either at the moment

Thanks @JoeGill , I guess with this functionality outstanding and the pricing / licensing model still to be announced - then I will use it for a few Proof of Concepts internally and keep an eye on the roadmap.

This preview is supposed to be available by now but I can't find how to actually export/import a bot anywhere, is there any documentation on this?

Thank you,
Diogo

The export and import bots using solutions feature launch has moved to May. We will update the PVA release notes in the next few weeks.

Hi @Diganta , is It possible to move a PVA bot from Tenant to another? We have the same requirement as we are developing a PVA BOT used as a Skill for an Azure BOT framework that Handles Hand-Off to a custom Hub. We are using our DEV environment on our Tenant and we need to move the BOT to our customer's Tenant.

You can provide your client with a copy of your solution containing the PVA bot. They can import the solution into their tenancy from the power platform maker portal.
