Flow to automatically exports Canvas apps and Flows from Default

Posted on by 23

I am looking for a Flow that i can run to export all of the Canvas apps and Flows from the Default environment.  Does anyone have anything like this?  

 

Thanks in advance!

    Hi @ToddKennedy 

    I am afraid that flow cannot achieve this function.

    I suggest you package all apps and fow into a soltuion, and then export the soltion.

    Check the places I marked to select all at once2.JPG

    The exported soltuion is a zip file that contains the app in msapp format and the flow in json format. You can choose to import the entire soltuion, or unzip the msapp file and use it separately.

    I feel your pain 🙂

     

    This suggestion above was my initial approach to moving from the default environment, but very few flows can be added to a solution if they are not in solutions already (the majority in my case).

     

    I did think maybe you could export the default solution which contains everything (kind of) and reimport it, but that option is greyed out. This could be something MS support might be able to do, but in my previous support call, they said the only option is to manually move everything.

     

    As an aside, not sure if you have noticed yet, but when a new Dataverse in Teams environment is fired up, it takes the default environment's region, another disaster in my case !

     

    My approach was to make the app owners rebuild their apps inside solutions, but that had an uptake of none.

    Yeah.  I had the same issue with Dataverse in Teams.  Has to disable it.  Thanks.

    Thanks Bof.  I am sad with the lack of automation.  I am looking to have a pipeline.
