Flow & Power Apps Migrator
A PowerShell tool that automates migration of Power Apps, Flows, and SharePoint dependencies between Microsoft 365 tenants or sites.
What is Flow & Power Apps Migrator?
Flow & Power Apps Migrator is a PowerShell-based tool that automates the migration of Microsoft Power Apps, Cloud Flows, and their SharePoint dependencies between different Microsoft 365 tenants or SharePoint sites. It solves the problem of manually updating SharePoint data source references when moving low-code applications to production or client environments, which is error-prone and time-consuming.
Microsoft Power Platform developers, SharePoint administrators, and IT professionals who need to migrate Power Apps, Flows, and SharePoint artifacts across tenants or sites, especially during deployment to production or distribution to clients.
It saves significant manual effort by automatically converting SharePoint data source IDs and migrating dependent lists, reducing errors and streamlining the entire migration process with simple batch scripts and an interactive UI.
