pacx workflow get

Returns the definition of a workflow (Power Automate Flow)

Aliases

pacx flow get

Usage

This command returns the definition of a single workflow. For a Power Automate Flow that is the json definition with its trigger, actions and connection references, for a classic workflow it is the xaml definition.

Use

pacx workflow list first if you do not know the exact name.```Powershell pacx workflow get --name "My Flow"

Definitions tend to be large, so you can write them to a file instead of the console. This is handy to compare the same flow between two environments, or to keep it next to the rest of your source code.

```Powershell
pacx workflow get --name "My Flow" --output C:\temp\myflow.json

If more than one workflow has the same name, you can tell them apart by the solution that contains them.

pacx workflow get --name "My Flow" --solution "My Solution Name"

You can also use the id instead of the name. It is the second guid in the url when you open a flow in the designer, and it is also shown by

pacx workflow list.```Powershell pacx workflow get --id 507db5fe-17f1-f011-8406-6045bd95f82d
