Centralized Variables - how to manage values for multiple flows (like secrets or paths)

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 124
I have 100+ flows in Power Automate (not desktop). 
There are multiple flows getting access tokens via secrets. 
 
Sadly this secrets do not last forever and thus I was facing the problem that I have to replace the secret value in all flows that get access tokens via the Entra application in question. 

So I wondered if it was possible to create some centralized variable that I would initialize with the secret and could use in 20+ flows. 
Next time this secret needs to be replaced I just would have to replace it on a centralized variable and would not have to edit 20+ flows. 
 
As we do use Power Automate a lot we have other values that are used over and over again like the path to a fileshare that needs to be replaced from time to time in multiple flows. 

Thanks a lot

    The best answer is to put your flows in Solution(s) and use Environment variables to share the values or secrets across multiple flows.  Use environment variables in Power Automate solution cloud flows - Power Apps | Microsoft Learn
     
    There is a specific type of environment variable for secrets.
