HI there

How many of you use Power Automate (AKA Microsoft Flow) on Office 365 to automate easy tasks such as get an email notification about the Weather, a notification when a file is created (uploaded) to a Microsoft Teams channel or even to publish on your Twitter account all your recent blog posts?

At this article I’ll show how to export Power Automate Flows to a package of JSON file and import them. Particularly I am demonstrating here how to export to a .ZIP file from Office 365 Tenant “A” and how to import into another Office 365 Tenant.

Step 1 – At the Source Tenant (Exporting the Flow package)

Go to you source tenant (Tenant A) on Office 365 log as Global Administrator

Access the Power Automate Admin Console – short link

Access the My flows on the left menu, you should see all your current flows on the screen.

Select the Flow you would like to export

Click on the ellipses (…) know as “More Commands”

Then select Export option Package (.zip)

Give the package a Name:

Rename or keep the Environment:

Give the package a Description:

Review the package content (name, resource type, import setup and action)

Click on Export and wait

Download the ZIP file created and go to your Downloads folder.



Step 2 – At the Target Tenant (Importing the Flow package)

Go to you source tenant (Tenant A) on Office 365 log as Global Administrator

Access the Power Automate Admin Console – short link

Access the My flows on the left menu, you should see all your current flows on the screen.

On the main Flows Screen you have a blue arrow to Import your flows.

TIP! Be aware that you’ll need to update the flow that’s being imported to use your current tenant’s credentials username@targetsourcedomain.com as we as the flow content itself where you might have references to SharePoint Sites and Lists, Microsoft Teams Channels that are pointing to Source Tenant applications and its previous infrastructure.

Importing the Flows

Select “My flows” on the left side of the screen

Click on the blue arrow Import

Select Upload to locate the file on your local computer

Select the File corresponding to the exported flow from source tenant and click Open




After you import the Flow

Edit the flow and double check

  • connectors
  • flow contents
  • credentials

Now edit your imported Flow

Step 1



Step 2
