Potential LOOMING problem coming.
- There’s a looming problem on the horizon that must be addressed by Nov 1st and the clock is ticking
- If you’re on SharePoint Online and are using workflows, they will stop working without any forewarning
- Industry has done a poor job communicating and explaining this
How do you know if you’ll be affected?
- If you’re on SharePoint Online, or have migrated from SharePoint 2010/2013 to SharePoint Online and have workflows, you will be affected
- If you’re using:
- Any out of the box list template work flows such as three state workflow or disposition work flow those are likely using 2010 Workflow Engine and will cease to run
- Any custom workflows that may have been built using SharePoint designer will be terminated as well
- Have workflows but are unsure? Double-check
- However, if you’re on SharePoint on Premise, you’re safe and won’t be affected
Why is this happening?
- Microsoft is retiring a very old product called the SharePoint 2010 Workflow Engine
- They deprecate old features throughout the year and often, they aren’t well publicized and sometimes they can greatly affect us
- They have a new and improved product within the Microsoft 365 platform called Power Automate Flows
What comes next?
- If you are using Power Automate Flows, then you’re safe come Nov 1st
- If unsure or you have workflows in place, you’ve got to migrate them to Power Automate Flows by Nov 1st to avoid any disruption in your workflows executing
- You’ll need to quickly determine how this will affect your business
- There are some tools out there, but they can be burdensome and aren’t 100% effective
- You’ve got to plan to move to Power Automate Flows now
