- Flows may be deleted accidentally by a user.
Resolution:
To restore a deleted flow in Power Automate using PowerShell, please follow the below steps:
1. Open PowerShell with elevated permissions.
2. Install the latest version of PowerShell cmdlets for Power Apps: Install-Module -Name Microsoft.PowerApps.Administration.PowerShell -AllowClobber
3. Sign in to your Power Apps environment: Add-PowerAppsAccount
4. Get a list of flows in the environment, including soft-deleted flows: Get-AdminFlow -EnvironmentName <YourEnvironmentName> -IncludeDeleted $true
5. Find the FlowName of the deleted flow: Get-AdminFlow -EnvironmentName <YourEnvironmentName> -IncludeDeleted $true | Where-Object {$_.DisplayName -eq "gift card replacement to excel"}
6. Restore the deleted flow: Restore-AdminFlow -EnvironmentName <YourEnvironmentName> -FlowName <FlowName> [ Ensure you replace <YourEnvironmentName> and <FlowName> with the actual environment name and flow name obtained from the previous steps]
