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.
$environmentName = "Personal Productivity"
$FlowEnv = Get-PnPPowerPlatformEnvironment | 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"
}
