How to replace SharePoint Designer 2010 Workflows with Power Automate

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 8

Our company is discontinuing support for workflows created under SharePoint Designer 2010 by the end of October.  We were told to convert our flows to Power Automate.  I have reviewed content on the MS site and watched YouTube videos and I cannot determine how (or if) Power Automate can be used to replace our existing structure. 

 

We have 2 workflows. They are part of a simple ticketing system that people use to request work from our team. It consists of .aspx forms (display, new, edit) with a SharePoint list. The first flow copies the list item ID to a single line of text field, ticket number, so that it can be referenced.  The second flow is more complex. Its end product is a custom e-mail that notifies the ticket submitter and CCs anyone else that they specify. The flow checks conditions and sets variables that populate the e-mail Distribution list, Subject and Body. The e-mail includes ticket number (from the first flow) and a link to the ticket's display form. E-mails are sent every time a ticket is updated (either new or modified).

 

My PC is on Microsoft Windows 10 version 20H2. I downloaded SharePoint Designer 2013 64-Bit Edition to view the current workflows. I cannot locate anything that indicates that Power Automate can be used for the workflows. I am not a developer, but this process is important to our team so I'm trying to figure out how to save it.

 

Given the above description, can you tell me if Power Automate can replace the two 2010 workflows? If so, please help me locate tutorials specific to this type of design. If not, what do you suggest?

    Hi @ck5 ,

     

    Based on the brief description above from a high level, Power Automate may be a fit for what you are trying to do.  You would need to use a combination of the SharePoint connector here and Outlook connector here.

     

    Here are some articles to get you started. Link Link
