    "with_knowledge_bases": true
  }' \
  https://api.xpander.ai/v1/agents/<agent-id>/export

  "description": "Pre-configured agent for customer support workflows",
  "icon": "🎧",
  "organization_id": "<org-id>",

        "description": "Product guides and FAQs"
      }
    ]
  }
}

​
Use Cases

  • Cross-Organization Sharing: Share agent templates with other organizations
  • Backup & Version Control: Create snapshots of agent configurations
  • Standardization: Distribute pre-built agents across teams
  • Reusability: Create templates for frequently used agent patterns

​
Notes

  • Cross-Organization Sharing: Templates can be shared across different organizations - the template ID works universally
  • Knowledge Base Size: When with_knowledge_bases: true, the export includes all document content which may result in larger payloads
  • Tool Credentials: Tool configurations are exported without credentials - recipients will need to provide their own API keys
  • Template Immutability: Exported templates are snapshots and won’t update if the original agent changes
