I have a lot of Power Automate flows connected to many Sharepoint lists. How can I get a full list of flows which are connected to a specific Sharepoint list, without having to open it one by one?

The reason is that I want to delete a Sharepoint list, but I notice that it will break the related Power Automate flows. So how?

How to Know Sharepoint Lists Connected to Power Automate Flow

Hello @Michael E. Gernaey,

One Sharepoint connection is related to 100+ Sharepoint List. That same Sharepoint connection is also connected to 200+ Flows.

In each Flow, there are actions which either create item, update item, get item, or even delete item in more than 1 Sharepoint List. So many Flows are related to more than 1 Sharepoint List.

If I delete 1 Sharepoint List, all of the related Flows will break for that specific action.

This is the challenge.

hi @CU22080520-1

You said you wanted to delete the List. but it will break the flows.

the connection between the list and the flows are connections.

Are you using triggers that are based on the list? and if the flow is broken why does it matter if it was intended for that List (triggers).

Otherwise I am not sure I understand.

you should easily be able to go to the flows, and look at its dependencies and if its dependent on a List (to trigger it), it will know.

Thank you @Michael E. Gernaey for your answer. However it does not address my issue. Your suggestion is related to Sharepoint Connection and not Sharepoint List.

I can see all of the Sharepoint connection to every Flow, but I don't see the Sharepoint List.

Hi @CU22080520-1

This maybe a silly question, but if you know its going to break the flows, then what is the point of trying to find them in advance? Are you still going to use them but just replace the connection?

Either way, I have no idea how many flows you have but the easier way is to

1) go to your Connections Tab (from the main screen)

2) find the Connection to SharePoint(s) that you are concerned with

3) click them and select ..., then Advanced and see the dependencies on it.

This will literally list every single Flow or App that uses it.

Should be painless really since you'll know which ones you want to delete and check.
