Configure Microsoft Power Automate Export Settings

Updated by Chris Kosmopoulos

Blueprint integrates with Microsoft Power Automate to accelerate and scale robot development and orchestration. Users can seamlessly export aligned and prioritized business processes into Microsoft Power Automate, while also preserving data captured from Imports from an earlier RPA tool, to provide robot developers with a head start and unparalleled visibility and context.

To be able to feed Process models - along with all visual elements and traces - from Blueprint to Microsoft Power Automate, a Project Administrator must first configure your Microsoft Power Automate integration settings in the Project Administration Portal.

Blueprint can be configured to integrate with Power Automate through cloud flows, directly connect to Power Automate Desktop, or export Solution Files for easy import into your existing Power Automate environment.

To configure your Microsoft Power Automate integration settings:

  1. Click Projects in the Blueprint Administration Portal.
    For information on how to access the Admin Portal, see the About the Administration Portal article.
  2. Select the project that you want to set up the Microsoft Power Automate integration for (that is, the project where you will be designing and optimizing process models to be downloaded and then uploaded to Microsoft Power Automate).
  3. Click RPA Integration and select Power Automate in the dropdown displayed.
  4. In the page displayed, you may configure your project to export to Power Automate or Power Automate Desktop.
    1. For Power Automate: select Enable Power Automate Cloud Export via Download
    2. For Power Automate Desktop: select Enable Power Automate Desktop Export via
      1. Select API (Microsoft 365 Authentication Required) if Microsoft 365 Authentication has been set up.
        Bots exported via this method will simply appear in your Power Automate Desktop environment when the migration job has completed.
        See PAD Export - Link Microsoft 365 to Blueprint for more details.
      2. Select Solution File if Microsoft 365 Authentication is not an option for your organization.
        Bots exported using this approach will be stored in a Blueprint folder named 'Power Automate Desktop Solutions' within your current project. To view your exports, you may need to refresh the Explorer Bar by navigating to Explorer Bar > More > Refresh All.
  5. Click Save.
WARNING - Export to Solution Files requires PAD version 2.33 or later. Ensure that your PAD version meets this requirement to enable the export functionality.
