Import & Export

Foundry apps can be exported as archives and imported into other CrowdStrike environments. This supports source control workflows, CI/CD pipelines, and multi-environment deployments.

Exporting an app

Exporting creates a .tar.gz archive containing the app’s manifest, function code, UI source, and configuration.

Export from the Falcon console

1. Go to Foundry > App manager.
2. Select the app to export.
3. Click Export.
4. Save the downloaded .tar.gz file.

Export from the CLI

foundry apps export

The archive is saved to the current directory.

Importing an app

Importing creates a new app from an exported archive. The imported app is a separate copy — changes to the import do not affect the original.

Import from the Falcon console

1. Go to Foundry > App manager.
2. Click Import app.
3. Select the .tar.gz archive.
4. Review the imported capabilities.
5. Click Create.

Import from the CLI

foundry apps create --import <path-to-archive.tar.gz>

Limitations

• Imported apps receive a new app ID. They are independent copies, not linked to the original.
• API integration credentials and secrets are not included in exports. You must reconfigure these after importing.
• Collections data is not included. Only the schema definition is exported.
