CUSTOMER CHOICE
Third-party accessibility
An authorized Retool user exports apps through the editor. Organization administrators manage resources and permissions separately.
Confirm who can connect, who owns the credentials and which uses are permitted. Customer consent and provider approval can be separate requirements; the selected plan and contract still matter.
READ / INTEGRATE
API and export routes
Export each selected Classic App from the editor and retain the resulting file. This is a manual per-app route. The assessed export has no external record-query interface; source data requires its own extraction.
| Access route | Authentication | Credential owner | Provider approval | Access requirement | Last checked |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| manual Classic App definition export and import | user session | Customer | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | 2026-10-22 |
Availability depends on your product, plan and agreement. See the documentation below for the requirements of each route.
ECONOMIC ACCESS
Cost, authentication and limits
Minimum plan and exact route fees remain unconfirmed.
Check API entitlement, credential ownership and rate limits for the route you intend to use. Include review fees, customer-plan upgrades and ongoing access charges in the total.
ACT FROM OUTSIDE
External action
Write operations remain unverified for this assessed route.
Validate the supported operation, acting identity and permission scope (read access does not imply write permission). Ambiguous retries and revoked credentials also affect whether an external workflow can run safely.
KEEP ACCESS USEFUL
Continuity
Repeat the manual app export after changes. This route does not establish a machine-readable update or deletion feed.

Useful ongoing access includes corrections and deletions, not only the first export. A failed request, changed filter or lost resource permission should not be interpreted as a deleted record.
LEAVE WITH YOUR DATA
Data exit and portability
Import JSON or Toolscript into a compatible Retool instance, then recreate and check resources. The export does not contain connected source data or credentials.
Test the output against the destination’s required fields and history. Check stable identifiers, relationships, attachments and extraction time; a sample file proves only the coverage of that sample.
BUILD / INSPECT / REUSE
Business logic and customization
Exported Classic Apps contain queries and component definitions. Retool runtime compatibility and resource setup remain necessary; independent execution rights are unresolved.
Custom API access, ownership of workflows and the right to export their definitions are separate questions. A custom-app capability alone does not establish that business rules can move to another system.
