Export Rules
Your rules are portable. You can export them to a JSON file as a backup or to share a setup.
Export your rules
From the Rules page, open the More menu and choose Export Rules.
MailPrism downloads a JSON file named like email-rules-2026-06-15.json (today's date),
containing every rule on your account.
What's in the file
The export is plain, readable JSON:
| Field | What it is |
|---|---|
version | The export format version |
exportedAt | When the file was created (timestamp) |
rulesCount | How many rules are included |
rules | The list of rules |
Each rule in the list keeps only the portable parts:
| Field | What it is |
|---|---|
name | The rule's name |
description | The rule's description |
enabled | Whether the rule was on |
conditions | The full condition logic — see Conditions |
actions | The full action list — see Actions |
stop_processing | Whether the rule stops later rules from running |
priority | The rule's priority order |
IDs, your user account, connected Gmail accounts, and execution history are not included. The file describes what the rules do, not whose they are — so it's safe to share and safe to import elsewhere.
Importing rules
There's no import button in MailPrism yet — the export above is the shipped path. Restoring or moving rules from a JSON file isn't something you can do from the UI today.
If you need to recreate a setup on another account, rebuild the rules from your export file as a reference, or use the Rule Library templates as a starting point.
