Posted on by ChaitanyaTagare Microsoft Employee

I am new to power automate and recently I have created 4 power automate flows by using instant template.

But not I want to trigger this flows based on automated mail triggers.

Is there any way with which I can convert existing instant template to Automated, Because existing template not allowing me to add trigger as flow is created using instant template.

PFB error while saving the flow.

    (1) Backup the flow (use Save As) if needed

     

    (2) You need to delete the trigger:

    (3) Confirm delete

    You will then be requested to add a new trigger.

     

    (4) Select a new trigger: the schedule trigger

    Enter the schedule details:

    then add the actions that are to be scheduled.
