Description

The Chrome extension that enables editing a Power Automate flow definition as JSON. Motivation The reason behind creating this extension is constantly struggling with repetitive tasks in the flow authoring workflow like replacing a SharePoint site's URL or changing the variable name. Features - Edit a Power Automate flow as JSON in your browser. - Workflow definition JSON schema validation. - Rich text manipulation features thanks to Monaco Editor (VS Code). - Validating actions using "Flow Checker". - More features may come in future :) How to use it 1. Get the extension. 2. Open the flow edit page in the Power Automate/Power Apps portal. 3. Click the extension icon. 4. Edit your flow! Change Log v1.3 - Migrated to the new Power Platform API (*.api.powerplatform.com) - Fixed flow detection for solution flows and multiple environments - Per-tab state tracking for auth tokens and API URLs v1.2 - Fixed the issue with saving a flow - Support for launching from the new Power Automate designer - Improved launching from Power Apps Portal - Now editor allows to edit the flow definition and connection references v1.1 Added support for opening a flow from the new Power Automate portal and Power Apps portal. Known limitations - The authentication token is not refreshed automatically at this moment. Sometimes might be necessary to refresh the flow's page that was used to open the extension.

Does not actually work. Clicking the extension does nothing.

I can't get it to work. I've tried the refresh idea.

As of writing clicking the extension icon with the new designer ("v3") does nothing, and even with the old designer it's hit-and-miss.

Just installed it, running PA on browser. Had the same problems as people reported before: Clicking the Tools Extension during a flow edit only opened a short Extension setup menue. Now I found out that by switching to the "Old Designer" (or classic designer maybe in English) gets around this issue. In "Classic Designer" version of PA, clicking the PA Tools Extension indeed opens the whole code for hacking around.
