Legacy SharePoint Designer workflows are not supported in SharePoint Online. Replacing these workflows with Power Automate ensures ongoing business functionality while helping you fully realize the value of your SharePoint and Microsoft 365 investment.
SharePoint Designer to Power Automate: Transitioning from Classic Workflows to a Modernized Solution
Migrating from SharePoint on-premises to SharePoint Online creates a more flexible, modern workplace. The challenge lies in figuring out how to transfer workflow functionalities without disrupting critical business functions.
SharePoint Designer Workflows are not supported in SharePoint Online. There is no simple one-to-one mapping between SharePoint Designer Workflow actions and Power Automate actions, so the migration won’t be simple. If your business uses SharePoint Designer Workflows, you need an expert in both SharePoint Designer and Power Automate to carry out the migration.

Unlock the Potential of Power Automate in SharePoint Online
Microsoft retired SharePoint 2010 workflows as of August 2020, and organizations must migrate their complex business processes to a modern, efficient, and cloud-based solution in Microsoft 365.
Power Automate helps users create automated workflows across a variety of applications and services. Thanks to hundreds of available connectors, this can all be done with little to no coding.
Low-code and no-code solutions empower end users to solve many of their specific business needs, maximizing ROI.
In addition to replacing SharePoint Designer Workflows, Power Automate integrates seamlessly with the rest of the Microsoft 365 applications and services.
“We worked with ThreeWill on a Jive – Microsoft 365 migration for a multinational client. The migration involved multiple territories and languages and considerable complexity. ThreeWill demonstrated exceptional rigor in their process, whilst using agile to respond to constant challenges that emerged at various points during the evolution of the project. Their clear communication with the client about their process, progress, and options meant that there was always alignment between them and the client and no surprises. When they were asked to come up with options for meeting particular challenges, they had a transparent and consistent methodology which meant the client could make informed decisions. The technology solution itself resulted in an exceptionally high-quality outcome, delivered on time and within budget.”

“I am confident in ThreeWill’s ability to help me succeed. More than just successfully delivering on a project but ensuring that the design and implementation are the correct cultural fit. Other reasons: listening, assessing, recommending, listening, considering, adapting, implementing, and sustaining.”
Christopher Elwell
“ThreeWill helped us extend Trove to meet our customer’s needs. They helped us avoid costs for an existing subscription by connecting up Salesforce with SharePoint. Working with Eric was great – I appreciated the status updates and the burndown chart for understanding our budget. I also enjoyed the weekly meetings to update me on the status of the project. I was able to save tens of thousands of dollars a year because of this project.”
Ellen Hunt
“ThreeWill helped us migrate from Jive to SharePoint. We were impressed with the methodology followed in the project. Standups and weekly reports were great communication. It was a particularly well-managed project – we had a highly committed team that met tight deadlines to make a year-end deadline. The project was under budget, and we were able to avoid an annual renewal fee that easily justified the project.”
Dave James
