Export all flows in one go - is this possible?

Posted on by pcts

We have a number of flows setup and we are moving to a new Office 365 tenant. We would like to be able to export all the flows in one go and then have the ability to import them all in one go on the new tenant (which will be the same domain).

Rather than having to export them one by one which seems is possible now - anyone know how to export them all in one go and import them all in one go?

Thank you for this, it worked for exporting all the flows and their created time in a environment but not the flow steps

I think I found something.
There is an actual(template) flow that will do this directly to Excel.
It is called: Click a button to create list of flows in Excel Online(Business)

Export / Import Flows process can be automated using third-party tools such as Apps4.Pro Migration Manager. This tool automate this process completely and export all flows. To import, users can select the required flows and fix connection. The flows will import automatically.

Hi,

Yes, it is possible to export all the power automate flows at once. I used the below PowerShell script to do that. Make sure you use the command "m365 login" in PowerShell before you run this script. I hope it helps.

#Step 1 - Get the default environment
Write-Host "Querying for default Flow environment..."
$environment = m365 flow environment list --output json | ConvertFrom-JSON
Write-Host "Found $($environment.Count) environments"
Write-Host "flowEnvironments: $($environment | Out-String)"
#Make sure which environment you want to export flows form "$environment[1]"
$defaultEnvironment = $environment[1].name
Write-Host "Found default environment $defaultEnvironment, querying Flows..."

# Step 2 - Get the flows info
Write-Host "Getting flows info..."
$flows = m365 flow list --environment $defaultEnvironment --asAdmin --output json | ConvertFrom-JSON

Write-Host "Found $($flows.Count) Flows to export..."

# Step 3 - Export the flows
$flows | ForEach-Object {
Write-Host "Exporting as ZIP & JSON... $($_.displayName)"
$filename = $_.displayName.Replace(" ","")
$timestamp = Get-Date -Format "yyyymmddhhmmss"
$exportPath = "$($filename)_$($timestamp)"
$flowId = $_.Name

m365 flow export --id $flowId --environment $defaultEnvironment --packageDisplayName $_.displayName --path "$exportPath.zip"
m365 flow export --id $flowId --environment $defaultEnvironment --format json --path "$exportPath.json"
}

Write-Host "Complete"

Hi, as Pstork1 said, we don't have a feature to export/import all your flows automatically. You can also create a CSV file that lists all your flows in Power Platform > Analytics >Power Automate. You could use this as a checklist to manage the export/import process.

Each Exported flow has settings that must be made. The same is true of importing flows. So I'm not aware of any tool that will export/import all your flows automatically. You can use PowerShell to create a CSV file that lists all your flows. You could use this as a checklist to manage the export/import process. But at this point its still a manual process. If you had built the flows as part of solution packages then a bit more could be automated.
