I've spent all morning googling and reviewing the MS documentation to see where I can run a business process flow from, but no luck so far. I thought I'd check if Power Automate displays differently for users other than myself.

This is what displays in the training video I am doing on LinkedIn Learning:

This is what displays in my view:

I've tried to find other ways to run/initiate my business process flow, but no luck. It appears that MS changed the business process flows radically in August 2022, so it's difficult to find information online.

You can't run the flow outside of a Model Driven app. If you create a Model Driven app based on the table you referenced in the Business Process flow and look at the forms for the table in the app you will see the business process flow at the top of the form.

Thank you so much!

I did as you instructed, and yet still no option to run/initiate a given process. Am I missing something?

@miriamricher ,

Business Process Flows are entirely part of the Data verse, so you can find it all in Solutions -> Default Solutions.

and look for Processes:

Hope it helps !

Thank you so much for the response.

I've created my BPF inside a solution without any issues. The problem I'm facing is that I am still unable to run/initiate a BPF instance. I've ensured that it's turned on, but still no success.

Re: Unable to run business process flow

The key here is this line from the Business Process Flows documentation "As of August 2022, you can no longer create or manage business process flows from Power Automate outside of the solution explorer. " That means that you can only create a Business Process Flow when adding a new flow inside a Solution. Take a look at the screenshot below. You need to add it inside a solution.
