Power Platform · SharePoint Workflow Migration

Migrate old SharePoint workflows to Power Automate safely.

A SharePoint workflow migration replaces your shut-down SharePoint 2013 workflows with new processes in Power Automate and Power Apps. We capture your legacy workflows from SharePoint Designer, Nintex and InfoPath, assess honestly what of it is still needed, and rebuild it. Tested, documented and handed over to your team.

The problem

The workflow engine is gone, your processes are not.

Since the shutdown in April 2026, approvals no longer start, reminders fail to go out and nobody notices until a deadline is missed. Many companies do not even know exactly which workflows have grown in SharePoint over the years.

  • 01Leave requests, invoice approvals and contract reviews are stuck because the approval workflow no longer starts.
  • 02Nintex workflows keep running on a platform that is being phased out, license costs rise and continued operation hangs by a thread.
  • 03InfoPath forms only work with workarounds, and new employees can barely use them.
  • 04There is no documentation: whoever built the workflows years ago is long gone.
Use cases
01

Replacing SharePoint 2013 workflows: what we migrate in practice.

Not every legacy workflow deserves a rebuild. We migrate what your business really needs and cleanly retire the rest.

01

Rebuild approval workflows

Leave request, invoice approval, purchase requisition: we rebuild your approval processes in Power Automate, with approval directly in Outlook or Teams instead of a link into an old SharePoint form. We factor in deputy rules and escalations from the start.

Impact Approvals run again, logged in a traceable way
02

Replace Nintex workflows

We translate Nintex forms and workflows into Power Apps and Power Automate, which are usually already included in your Microsoft 365 licenses. The logic stays, the separate license goes.

Savings Nintex license and maintenance costs disappear
03

Replace InfoPath forms with Power Apps

We rebuild old InfoPath forms as Power Apps: same fields, same lists behind them, but usable on a phone and without discontinued technology. Existing SharePoint data is preserved.

Impact Forms keep running on any device
04

Document workflows for contracts and deadlines

Follow-ups, contract renewals, review and filing deadlines: we rebuild the reminder and filing workflows that quietly died in April. Before the first deadline slips by unnoticed.

Savings 2–4 h of follow-up per week
05

Retire legacy workflows instead of migrating them

Some of the workflows in every grown SharePoint are simply no longer needed. We tell you honestly which ones those are and retire them with documentation, instead of selling you a rebuild.

Savings You only pay for workflows you need
Tools

What we replace Designer and Nintex workflows with.

The successor to SharePoint Designer workflows is usually already available in your Microsoft 365 package. We rely on the Power Platform so no new third-party system comes into the house.

Workflow engine
Power Automate

The official successor to the SharePoint workflow engine. Approvals, notifications and multi-stage processes keep running here, connected to Outlook, Teams and your SharePoint lists.

Forms
Power Apps

Replaces InfoPath and Nintex forms with modern input masks on the same SharePoint data. Works at the desk, in the warehouse and on the construction site on a phone.

Big picture
Microsoft 365 automation

The migration is often the entry point: since the workflows are being rebuilt anyway, we connect them cleanly with Teams, Outlook and your line-of-business applications right away.

How we work

The 30-day model for your workflow migration.

From inventory to handover in 30 days, at a fixed price. You know what it costs beforehand, not afterwards.

1

Inventory

We inventory all workflows in your SharePoint: Designer, Nintex, InfoPath. Afterwards you have a list of what exists, what is still running and what has been stalled since April.

2

Assessment

For each workflow we decide together: drop it entirely, simplify it or rebuild it. A one-to-one copy is rarely worthwhile, the migration is the opportunity to clear out.

3

Rebuild and test

We rebuild the remaining workflows in Power Automate and Power Apps and test them with your real cases before the old path is finally replaced.

4

Handover

Your team receives documentation and a briefing so it can make small adjustments itself. You keep control, no maintenance contract needed.

Thinking ahead

More than just rescuing workflows.

Since the old workflows are being rebuilt anyway, it pays to look at the whole picture: much of what used to be clicked together in SharePoint can today be cleanly automated across Microsoft 365. There we show you what is already inside your existing licenses.

Frequently asked questions
05

What companies often ask about SharePoint workflow migration.

Why are our SharePoint 2013 workflows suddenly not running anymore?

Microsoft permanently shut down the SharePoint 2013 workflow engine in April 2026, even in existing Microsoft 365 environments. All workflows built with SharePoint Designer on this engine no longer start since then. Approvals, reminders and filing processes are often affected, and their failure usually only becomes noticeable once something gets stuck.

What is the successor to SharePoint Designer workflows?

The official successor is Power Automate, complemented by Power Apps for forms. Both are part of the Power Platform and already included in many Microsoft 365 licenses. The workflows are not converted in the process, but rebuilt: there is no automatic conversion tool from Designer to Power Automate.

What happens to our Nintex workflows?

Nintex workflows are not automatically affected by the Microsoft shutdown, but they depend on a separate, paid platform. We rebuild them in Power Automate and Power Apps so that the Nintex license can be cancelled. Forms and logic can almost always be mapped; we check the details during the inventory.

Can you simply copy our old workflows 1:1?

Technically, an automatic 1:1 transfer is not possible, and functionally it is rarely useful. Many legacy workflows map processes that no longer exist in that form, or contain workarounds that were only necessary because of the old technology. We assess each workflow individually: drop it, simplify it, or rebuild it. This makes the migration cheaper and the result easier to maintain.

How long does a SharePoint workflow migration take?

A typical migration project runs with us in 30 days at a fixed price: inventory in 3 to 5 days, followed by assessment, rebuild and handover. Rebuilding a single workflow takes half a day to three days depending on complexity. For very large environments with many dozens of workflows, we split the project into stages and prioritize what blocks operations the most.
