Advanced Tip for Flow Migration
Issue: What if the parameter I want to edit does not show?
The Migration Wizard automatically detects strings resembling objects in the Flow's raw code, including variables, URLs, email addresses, and GUIDs. However, if a parameter you wish to modify is not detected by the Wizard, here are a couple of solutions:
Method 1: Add a New Line and Define Source and Destination
The Migration's Source and Destination operate akin to "Find and Replace." If an object or parameter is not visible, you can manually insert a row by clicking Add New and entering the code of the object in both the Source and Destination fields.
For instance, consider an Action in your Flow that updates a file in Google Drive. If you want the same behavior but to update a different file, the Migration Wizard may not detect the file name.
However, each Google file has its ID as part of the URL. In this case, it is the highlighted string:
By examining the raw code in the Designer's Code View, you can identify the ID under "parameters" in the Open API Connection:
To resolve this, add a new line in Flow Studio's Migration map, entering the original file's ID as the Source parameter and the new file's ID as the Destination:
Click Add and Run Plan to create the new Flow.
Method 2: Create a Variable
Sometimes, you may not have a fixed "original text value" (maybe it is blank) to find and replace. In this case, you can create a variable for the original file, prompting the Wizard to detect it.
Insert an "Initialize variable" Action in the Flow with the original file's details:
Note the Action should be placed before the "Update File" Action:
Once the Flow is saved, click Migration Wizard in Flow Studio. It will now detect the newly created variable, enabling you to map it accordingly.
Try these methods using our App - Flow Studio.
