Importing Activities

If you have a custom activity that was created in a different environment or an activity downloaded from the Resolve Automation Exchange, you can import it into your current environment.

After clicking +New Activity on the left menu:

  1. Select Import from an existing activity on the Create a new activity screen.
  2. Upload the activity.
  3. Click Save & Continue.
note

Imported files must be the .zip file that was exported from the source system or a .ayh file from the .zip export.

  • Imported activities appear in the Imported Activities category. You can move them to other categories as desired.

  • When importing custom activities, any third-party DLLs are not imported as part of the activity. For the activity to run correctly, you need to place these DLLs on every server that has an Executor.

  • The .ayh file is a ZIP archive with a different extension. It must contain a code file (.cs, .vb, or .py), a JSON file (.json), and a metadata file (.xml) for the activity to be successfully imported and used.

note

The activity is not imported if another activity with the same name already exists in the system.
