Posted on by CU17011942-0
I'm trying to use my workflow for the first time in 3 months, but when I opened (Power Automate), none of my workflows were there. I check my Onedrive folder and they are there, just the desktop app doesn't show any of them.
 
¿What can I do?

    Hi,
     
    Here's a few things you are can try:
     

    1. Verify Signed-In Account

    • Ensure you are signed into the correct account in Power Automate for Desktop.
      • Open the PAD app.
      • Click your profile icon (top-right corner).
      • Verify the account details.
    • If you're signed in with the wrong account, sign out and log in with the account that has access to your workflows.

    2. Re-Sync OneDrive Folder

    Since PAD stores workflows in OneDrive by default, there might be a syncing issue between the OneDrive folder and PAD.

    Steps:

    1. Open OneDrive and verify that the workflows are in the correct Power Automate folder (usually under \Documents\Power Automate\).
    2. Ensure OneDrive is running and syncing properly:
      • Check the OneDrive icon in the system tray for any errors or paused syncs.
      • Manually trigger a sync if necessary.
    3. Restart PAD and check if the workflows appear.

    3. Import Workflows Manually

    If workflows are still missing, you can re-import them into PAD.

    Steps:

    1. Open the PAD app.
    2. Click on "Import" from the main screen.
    3. Navigate to your OneDrive folder containing the workflows:
      • Default path: C:\Users\<YourUsername>\OneDrive\Documents\Power Automate\
    4. Select the .fpr files (workflow files) and import them.

    4. Check for Application Updates

    Outdated versions of Power Automate for Desktop might have compatibility issues.

    Steps:

    1. Open the PAD app.
    2. Go to Settings → About → Check for Updates.
    3. Install any available updates and restart the app.

    5. Check OneDrive Backup Location

    If your OneDrive folder structure has changed, PAD might not recognize the new location.

    Steps:

    1. Check your OneDrive folder location:
      • Open OneDrive settings and find the current folder path under Account → Manage Backup.
    2. Ensure that PAD is pointed to the correct OneDrive location:
      • Open PAD → Settings → File Locations → Verify or update the location to match the current OneDrive path.

    6. Verify Workflow File Integrity

    If the workflows were modified or corrupted, PAD might not recognize them.

    Steps:

    1. Locate the .fpr files in your OneDrive folder.
    2. Open the files in a text editor (they are JSON-based) to verify they contain valid data.
    3. Try importing them again into PAD.
