Export all flows in environment

Summary

When was the last time you backed up all the flows in your environment?

By combining the CLI for Microsoft 365 and PowerShell along with a new pure PnP PowerShell example we can make this task easy and repeatable.

This script will get all flows in your default environment and export them as both a ZIP file for importing back into Power Automate and as a JSON file for importing into Azure as an Azure Logic App.

• PnP PowerShell

$environmentName = "Personal Productivity"

$FlowEnv = Get-PnPFlowEnvironment | Where-Object { $_.Properties.DisplayName -eq $environmentName }

Write-Host "Getting All Flows in $environmentName Environment"
$flows = Get-PnPFlow -Environment $FlowEnv -AsAdmin #Remove -AsAdmin Parameter to only target Flows you have permission to access

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

foreach ($flow in $flows) {

    Write-Host "Exporting as ZIP & JSON... $($flow.Properties.DisplayName)"
    $filename = $flow.Properties.DisplayName.Replace(" ", "")
    $timestamp = Get-Date -Format "yyyymmddhhmmss"
    $exportPath = "$($filename)_$($timestamp)"
    $exportPath = $exportPath.Split([IO.Path]::GetInvalidFileNameChars()) -join '_'
    Export-PnPFlow -Environment $FlowEnv -Identity $flow.Name -PackageDisplayName $flow.Properties.DisplayName -AsZipPackage -OutPath "$exportPath.zip" -Force
    Export-PnPFlow -Environment $FlowEnv -Identity $flow.Name | Out-File "$exportPath.json"

}
