Summary

Summary

Need to import a PAD Flow that was exported with PAD_ExportFlows? Use this to import a flow into Power Automate Desktop.

Overview

Overview

Currently, PAD does not allow to import flows developed in Power Automate Desktop. This automation is designed to leverage PAD_ExportFlows ability to extract each Flow data, including arguments data into .arg files and subflow (including Main) data into .subflow file.

This automation uses a simple workaround of pasting each Subflow data that was previously exported into a .subflow and .arg file at a user-defined backup location on disk.

  1. The automation prompts the user to choose a previous backup location on disk in a Browse Folder dialog.
  2. If the user chooses top-level folder that contains several flow-named folders, the automation will import all subfolders as new flows with the corresponding name.
  3. If the user chooses a specific flow-named folder, only that flow will be imported.
  4. The automation checks PAD "My flows" page to identify if the flow already exists. In this case, it will not import the current flow to avoid conflict and overwriting of an existing flow.
  5. The automation creates a new flow with the name defined by the backup folder.
  6. The automation loops through each chosen Flow by opening it in PAD Designer panel, loops through each Subflow (including Main), imports data (including flow Arguments) from backup .arg and .subflow file that contains all of the data in WinAutomation syntax in the previously named folder.

Features
