Workflows to PA

How to migrate SharePoint 2013 workflows from on-premises to power automate,
Please help me with high level steps which are needed.
What we need to do if we have thousands of SharePoint workflows from source side ( On premises ) , do we need to configure everything manually in the power automate?

@sns1,

There is no direct way to migrate SharePoint 2013 workflows from on-premises to power automate.

It's necessary to manually rebuild flows within Microsoft Power Automate in SharePoint online.

More information about flow terminologies, triggers, and actions for your reference:

Hi Wang,

Thank you for the response.
Can you please give more details includes high level steps, like from where to begin in migrating these workflows to power automate?
We have 1000s of workflows, do we need to rebuild these thousands of workflows one by one?

@sns1,

Refer to follwoing article to create a flow for a list or library:

Yes, you need to rebuild all workflows with flow.

@sns,

Please check the new feature that will be released in 2022 that will migrate and convert your SharePoint Server on-premises workflows into Microsoft 365 as Power Automate flows.

Hi Wang,

Thank you for letting me know. I just roughly gone through articles u provided.


so this new feature going to allow bulk ( thousand of workflows) to migrate to power automate at one shot?
If so , To achieve this task, are we going to use PowerShell from June 2022? and then later is it going to be with SharePoint Migration Tool?
What is the technical name for this new feature?

@sns1,

Yes.

Initially this will be implemented via PowerShell, and in future it will be more integrated into the SharePoint Migration Tool (SPMT).
