🔗 Flow Dependency Analyzer

A static, read-only dependency mapper for Power Automate cloud flows. It parses each flow's clientdata JSON into a dependency footprint — trigger, Dataverse tables/columns, connectors, connection references, environment variables, child flows, custom APIs and HTTP actions — builds a reverse "which flows break if I change this component?" impact view, raises deployment-risk findings, and exports the result. Every HTTP endpoint URL, SAS/trigger URL and secret is redacted — never stored or exported.

Features

Area What it maps / detects
Flow inventory & filtering Lists all cloud flows (workflow, category=5, type=1) with owner and state (Activated/Draft); filter by solution, owner, status, connector, trigger type and referenced table
Trigger & Dataverse deps Resolves each flow's trigger type and (for Dataverse triggers) table + message (Create/Update/Delete/…); extracts the Dataverse tables (entityName) and columns ($select) each flow reads/writes
Connectors, connection refs & env vars Lists connector ids, connectionreference logical names, and environment-variable references each flow depends on, so you can confirm they exist in the target
Direct-connection detection A connectionName GUID that maps to no connection reference → High finding with remediation (breaks environment portability)
Child flows, custom APIs & HTTP Discovers child-flow (RunFlow) relationships and bound/unbound custom-API invocations; lists HTTP actions by name with all URLs/auth values redacted
Missing / hardcoded metadata Missing table → Critical; missing column / connection reference / environment variable → High; hardcoded environment URLs, GUIDs and table names → Medium (a failed lookup degrades to Info, never throws)
Component impact & tree Pick a component (table, column, connector, connection reference, environment variable, child flow, custom API) and get every flow that depends on it, plus a per-flow dependency tree and a deployment-readiness checklist

Exports

The dependency tree and findings export off the UI thread to four formats — secrets/URLs stay redacted in every format:

  • Excel workbook
  • PDF report
  • JSON (carries the impacted-flow map and a pass/fail readiness flag)
  • HTML (self-contained)

Help & Support

A Help button on the right of the toolbar opens a Help & Support dialog with Documentation, Report an issue, and a support link, each opened in your browser. The tool implements IHelpPlugin and IGitHubPlugin, so XrmToolBox's own tool-menu links resolve to the same GitHub project (kkora/XrmToolSuite).

Build & install

Fastest path — build straight into your local XrmToolBox on the same machine:

dotnet build src\Tools\XrmToolSuite.FlowDependencyAnalyzer\XrmToolSuite.FlowDependencyAnalyzer.csproj -c Release -p:DeployToXTB=true

This is not a single-DLL tool: it ships the Excel/PDF export dependency chain (ClosedXML + PdfSharp/MigraDoc-GDI). The one-step build copies the tool DLL and its dependency DLLs into the XrmToolBox Plugins root (never a subfolder, or XrmToolBox silently drops the tool). For manual distribution and troubleshooting, see ./DEPLOYMENT.md and the suite guide Deployment_Guide_XrmToolBox.md. Restart XrmToolBox and open Flow Dependency Analyzer.

Usage

  1. Connect to your environment (System Customizer or higher recommended).
  2. Load the cloud-flow inventory and, if needed, filter by solution/owner/status/connector/table.
  3. Run the analysis to parse each flow's clientdata into a dependency footprint.
  4. Review a flow's dependency tree, or use the reverse-lookup panel to see which flows a component change impacts; check the risk findings.
  5. Export the tree + findings + readiness checklist to Excel / PDF / JSON / HTML.

Notes & limitations

  • Read-only — the tool only parses and reports; it never modifies flows.
  • Secrets are never exposed — HTTP endpoint URLs, SAS/trigger URLs and auth values are stored and exported as [redacted] in every surface and format.
  • The dependency-discovery engine (FlowClientDataParser, FlowRiskRules, FlowModels) is UI-free and unit-tested on clientdata fixtures.
  • All Dataverse access runs off the UI thread via RunAsync / RetrieveAll; unresolved logical names are flagged as possible missing metadata rather than aborting the run.
