Sometimes you might have no clue how to create certain functionality by yourself. Hopefully, A Node-RED works similar to text editors, where you can import and use someone else’s code. Import Node-RED flows flow or multiple flows can be imported from a text file e.g. the one shared by your colleagues or from our E2D knowledge base.. This means that you can quickly create the logic without having to create the functionality yourself. You can import a flow shared by a collegue as a text file or simply cut and paste an example flow from the Knowledge Base with these instructions.
Step-by-step instructions
Go to Node-RED settings and select Import.

2. In the Clipboard tab, paste the code from the text file or Knowledge Base and then select Import. You can choose to import flow to a new flow or to the one that is currently open.
