Get the entire (!) Json of a flow's definition

Posted on by a_schwibach

Hello,

I would like to retrieve the definitions of the flows in some solutions.
One use case is that we want to find out which flows use a specific API or an endpoint.

The Get Flow Action and the Get Flow as an Admin action give me a Json, but not a Json of all the parameters in every action.
All the flows I'm interested in are inside of solutions.
I was able to build a flow to retrieve all the flows in my solutions and write those limited Jsons into a Sharepoint list.

Do you guys have a way to produce that automatically? (maybe a Dataverse table I could access or something like that)
(I don't want export the solutions manually and then go through that file and look for the flows.)

I've built a browser bookmarklet that gives me the flow details plus JSON in a popup window. It rides on the authentication session from a Power Apps model-driven app, which I usually always have in the context of my cloud flow usage. You can just add the script into a bookmark in your browser and then open the definitino of a specific flow. See this GitHub repo for details of the Get Flow JSON bookmarklet: https://github.com/jukkan/power-bookmarklets

You could use the Power Platform CLI to clone the solutions you are interested in and perform a local search.

My research (generated). To get the full JSON definition, call:

GET https://management.azure.com/providers/Microsoft.ProcessSimple/environments/{environmentId}/flows/{flowId}?api-version=2016-11-01&$expand=definition

Use “Invoke HTTP Request” in the Power Automate Management connector.

Export Flow only returns a ZIP package, not directly usable JSON inside a flow.

You may want to look into this tool PowerDocu: GitHub - modery/PowerDocu: Generate technical documentation from your existing Power Automate Flows and Power Apps canvas apps. It generates documentation of your flows with all of the actions and settings. We've been using it for several years now.
