Hi everyone,

I'm wondering whether there is a way under NodeRed, to load dynamically a returned flows json (from a http get, etc) under the current running instance, without the need to redeploy the service or not ?

Thank you very much

Any new flow, no matter how imported must be deployed. This is fundamental to how Node-RED works as a collection of node.js modules.

Thanks a lot for confirmation!  
We'll look for some other alternatives.
