Bulk define Business Process Flows programatically in Power automate

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 8

Hi, 

 

We are embarking on enterprise automation journey and one of the first few candidates we have identified for automation are existing processes which we want to automate. We have documented the to-be Processes along with Tasks and Steps for each process.  Business Process Flows seem to suit our needs as it stands since they provide a "guided" user experience along with ability to hook with other flows at the back via action flows and such. However there are two key requirements for us 1) to define existing Processes (some 100 odd processes) as BPFs and 2) give Business the ability to be able to define new BPFs. 

 

Is there a way to bulk define BPFs via some kind of program to realise the 1st requirement? I have come across https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/developer/business-process-flows-code where it touches upon how to work with BPFs using code but they are all about creating process instances, once the BPFs have been defined (presumably via the UI). 

 

Thanks in advance

    @Yutao any thoughts ? I think this is too much to expect from flow.
