Power Automate Tools

This extension enables editing a Power Automate flow definition as JSON.

Power Automate Tools is a Chrome extension designed to simplify the editing of Power Automate flow definitions directly as JSON. By integrating a powerful Monaco Editor (like VS Code) right in your browser, it allows you to quickly make bulk changes such as updating SharePoint URLs or variables without repetitive clicking.

Key features include JSON schema validation to ensure your flow is correctly formatted, action validation through Flow Checker, and enhanced editing capabilities for both flow definitions and connection references. Simply open your flow in the Power Automate or Power Apps portal, click the extension icon, and start editing effortlessly. With ongoing improvements and support for the latest Power Automate designers, this tool streamlines your flow authoring workflow effectively.

Although not perfect, it saved me hours of work updating a massive flow! Using this, i was able to copy the text to NotePad++, make the changes there (lots of find and replace), then copy back to this tool, validate, and save!

MS's Power Automate editor is a pile of trash. YOU NEED THIS.
