Workflows

export-full-application
Validate an application then export the whole application and wait for the artifacts.
Reads the application's packages as a validity guard, starts an application-level export deployment, polls it to a terminal status, and returns the exported artifact URLs.
3 steps inputs: apiKey, applicationUuid, deploymentName outputs: deploymentLogUrl, deploymentUuid, exportStatus, packageZip
1
validateApplication
Read the application's in-flight packages to confirm the application UUID resolves and is accessible before launching a full export.
2
startExport
Create an application-level export deployment for the validated application UUID, setting the Action-Type header to export.
3
pollExport
Poll the export deployment until it leaves the IN_PROGRESS state, then capture the artifact download URLs.

  title: Appian Export a Full Application
  summary: Confirm an application has in-flight packages, then export the entire application and wait for the artifacts.
  description: >-
    Exports an entire Appian application rather than a single package. The
    workflow first reads the application's in-flight packages as a guard that
    the application UUID is valid and visible to the service account, then
    starts an export deployment with exportType set to application for that
    application UUID, and polls the deployment until the export reaches a
    terminal status before returning the download URLs. Every step spells out
    its request inline so the flow can be read and executed without opening the
    underlying OpenAPI description.
