Export Bot Code

We are often asked questions like “How do I download my bot’s code?”. There is currently no way to export bot code.

Inventor does not generate code for your bot that can be used independently. There is no way to export your bot’s code, because that code doesn’t exist.

All Inventor flows act as a “configuration” that is fed into the Inventor runtime, which actually runs your flows using Inventor’s block logic. This configuration data is accessible to you (through the flow editor), but cannot be turned into a standalone executable or collection of code files to host your bot separately.

This is true for the design of most bot builders that offer hosting, since the overhead of hosting many separate bot code processes is much higher than hosting many bots on one process through a centralized runtime.
