Flow Finder

Find, inspect and manage Power Automate cloud flows across solutions.

Flow Finder is a utility for XrmToolBox / Power Platform administrators that helps locate which solutions contain specific cloud flows and perform management tasks such as updating co-owners, modifying solution membership, filtering results and exporting flow inventories to CSV.

Highlights / Features

  • Quickly find the solutions that contain a given cloud flow
  • Update flow co-owners in bulk
  • Add or remove flows from solutions (update solutions)
  • Filter results by solution name
  • Hide / show flows that are in managed solutions
  • Export flow inventory to CSV for reporting or auditing

Requirements

  • .NET Framework 4.8
  • XrmToolBox (or any host that can load FlowFinder.dll)
  • A Power Platform environment with sufficient privileges to view and update flows/co-owners

Usage

  1. Start XrmToolBox and connect to a Power Platform environment with administrative privileges.
  2. Open the Flow Finder tool.
  3. Select flows and use the available actions to:
    • Update Co-owners
    • Update Solutions (add/remove from solutions)
    • Toggle visibility of flows in managed solutions in the list of flows
    • Export the displayed results to CSV

Typical CSV export fields

  • Flow Name
  • Description
  • Solution Name(s)
  • Co-Owners
  • Triggering Source
  • Triggering Table

Changelog (v1.2026.4.15)

  • New: View Schema button — select any flow and click "View Schema" to inspect the full JSON definition (triggers, actions, connection references) in a dialog. Includes a Copy to Clipboard button.

  • Fix: Co-owners added or removed were reappearing after a full reload. The principalobjectaccess query now filters out rows where accessrightsmask = 0, which previously caused revoked co-owners to persist.

  • Fix: Loading animation froze while flows were loading. Grid data binding is now performed off the UI thread.

  • Fix: GDI font handle leak — the bold font used for conditional row formatting is now properly disposed.

  • Fix: Close button on dialogs was accessible during background operations, which could cause errors if clicked mid-load.

  • Improvement: All labels, buttons and dialogs now consistently use "Co-Owners" capitalisation.

  • Improvement: Large environments are now handled more reliably — Dataverse queries are paged (up to 5,000 records per page) and IN clauses are automatically chunked into batches of ≤500.

  • Improvement: Solution and Co-Owner dialogs now load data asynchronously on open, keeping the UI responsive.

  • New: Added clickable link to open a flow from "Link to flow" column

  • New: ICON UPDATE - Thanks to Cooky for the new icon design! Icons from Lizel Arina & kliwir art at flaticon.com

  • New: Added current status of flow, active, inactive, suspended. Thanks to Amine Debba for this suggestion.

  • Fix: Issue where conditional formatting disappeared after filtering the grid.

Changelog (v1.2025.12.22)

  • New: "Triggering Entity" column renamed to "Triggering Table". - Thanks Cooky!
