Summary

Summary

Need to export a PAD Flow? Use this to create a backup of a Flow from PAD by extraction Arguments and Subflow data into a text file.

Overview

Overview

Currently, PAD does not allow to export/create backups of flows developed in Power Automate Desktop.

This automation uses a simple workaround of copying each Flow's data as plain text and storing it in a .subflow file for subflows and .arg file for arguments, at a user-defined backup location.

  1. The automation prompts the user to choose a backup location on disk in a Browse Folder dialog.
  2. The automation extracts a list of flows in PAD "My flows" page and offers a choice to enter Flow names to extract or extract All flows.
  3. The automation creates a top-level folder with the name of the Flow in the format "exported_FlowName".
  4. The automation opens selected Flow Designer Panel and loops through each Argument, storing Argument properties in .arg file in Arguments/Input or Output folder.
  5. The automation loops through each Subflow (including Main), creates a .subflow file and writes the data in WinAutomation syntax.
