Importing a flow

A flow package contains the logic of the flow as well as information about the connectors. It can therefore be imported into a new, separate environment, preserving the flow logic; however, the connection information needs to be updated according to the environment it is imported to.

Getting ready

Everyone within an organization can import a flow and publish it.

How to do it...

To import a flow, follow the following steps:

  1. Go to the Power Automate landing page.
  2. Click on Import, specify the location of the saved template, and click Import.
  3. Specify whether you would like to update an existing flow by selecting Update or create a new flow:

  4. When the flow is imported into a new environment, the connections have to be reconfigured by clicking on the Select during import link:

  5. This brings up a panel on the right that lets you create a connection or choose an existing connection:

  6. You can save the flow after the connections have been configured.
