Hi all

Is there any way we can export/import our PowerApps applications as well as flows and lists related to it ?

I want to create different environments for my app, like Dev, Production, QA etc. But don't want to manually go and copy flows and lists , rename them , export import my application etc.

Is there any way we can do this especially using PowerShell Scripts ?

Thank you.

Hi @CU16020807-0

You can use Powershell to import Solutions definitely if you were comfortable....but ideally as @Chriddle suggested PAC CLI is best for automated Solution Deployments.

# 1) Install and load modules (run once)
Install-Module Microsoft.PowerApps.Administration.PowerShell -Scope CurrentUser -Force
Install-Module Microsoft.PowerApps.PowerShell -Scope CurrentUser -Force
Import-Module Microsoft.PowerApps.Administration.PowerShell
Import-Module Microsoft.PowerApps.PowerShell

# 2) Sign in
Add-PowerAppsAccount

# 3) Set inputs
$envUrl = "https://ecellorsdev.crm8.dynamics.com"
$solutionPath = "C:\Personal\Pavan\Learnings\Power Apps\Solution.zip"

# 4) Resolve environment name from URL
$env = Get-AdminPowerAppEnvironment -Filter "EnvironmentUrl eq '$envUrl'"
if (-not $env) { throw "Environment not found for URL: $envUrl" }
$envName = $env.EnvironmentName

# 5) Import managed solution
Import-PowerAppSolution `
-EnvironmentName $envName `
-Path $solutionPath `
-PublishChanges:$true `
-ActivatePlugins:$true
