Build a Framework

Posted on by Diogo_Nunes

Hello,

I'm trying to set a framework in other for every automation which I will develop it will start from there.

I tried to create it on a solution, but every time I need to start a development I need to create a new one with different names and different tables. Isn't there a way to have a template which I can pull into my new solution ?

I tried to search for this and in the past existed a submit template, since it doesn't exist anymore, what I could do here to achieve this goal ?

Regards,

Diogo Nunes

If I am understanding correctly, you want to create a flow "template" that will have the same X number of steps everytime. So what you could do is create a flow configured with all the steps you are wanting to repeat, and save it as "Template_Flow_X" then create a bookmark to the flow run history page. From there every time you want to create a new flow based on that template, you go to the run history and choose save a copy of this flow. Then you give your new flow a name and then go and edit it.

Hello srduval,

You understood it correctly.

Thank you, I was already doing that but was trying to understand if would exist something similar but on solution wise. At the moment what I'm doing is to create a copy of that flow, add it to a new solution and from there I'm starting to develop a new automation.

For me the perfect way to do it, would be a template solution, with the flow template, with some template tables. I would copy it and it would be a different solution from the template one.

If you know something about feel free to share.

Regards,
Diogo Nunes

Unfortunately, I think what you're doing with the "template" flow and savings a copy of it is the only way, I'm not well versed in solutions so maybe someone else will have an idea . It would be really clunky but in theory you could create a power automate desktop flow and either use the recorder or manually build the steps you need to build the power automate cloud flow.
