Feature since v2.4.0

# Import & Export

Move webhooks and chains between sites as a portable JSON document.

Export any webhook or chain — with its triggers, field mapping, conditions, and (with Pro) its Code Glue snippets — to a single JSON file, then import it into another site. Imports are validated against a strict schema and reported per item, so a malformed or partial document fails safely instead of half-applying. Reusable auth credentials travel as write-only references (never the secret), so nothing sensitive leaves the source site.

## What travels

Each exported webhook carries its endpoint, HTTP method, headers, URL params, retry/backoff settings, and every trigger with its field mapping and conditions. Chains carry their links and per-link conditions. With Webhook Actions Pro active, each trigger also carries its pre/post Code Glue snippets via the `fswa_export_trigger` filter, restored on the other side by `fswa_import_trigger`.

## Safe by design

The importer rejects unknown top-level keys unless a companion feature opts them in via `fswa_import_extra_root_keys`. Credentials are exported as references with a masked hint only — the encrypted secret is never included, so an imported webhook prompts you to supply or map its credential on the target site.
