❓ FAQs

Can I duplicate a bot flow to another WhatsApp number?
Yes, you can import a duplicated flow to any WhatsApp number under your Acele account, as long as templates and required features are available.

What if the flow uses a template that doesn’t exist for the new number?
You’ll need to reassign or recreate that WhatsApp template for the new number, or the imported bot will not function properly.

Can I export multiple bot flows at once?
Not currently. Each bot flow needs to be exported one at a time.

Are buttons, variables, and conditions included in export/import?
Yes! All elements of the logic—including buttons, input variables, and conditions—are included (excluding sensitive data).

Is it safe to share the .txt flow file with others?
Yes, just make sure you remove or mask any sensitive URLs or IDs before sharing.
