Power Automate Editor – JSON Editor for Your Flows

Edit and validate the JSON definition of your Power Automate flows directly from the designer.

⚡ Power Automate Editor – Edit your flows like code Power Automate Editor adds a full-fledged JSON editor directly into the Microsoft Power Automate designer. View the complete definition of the currently open flow, edit it with Monaco Editor (the editing engine used by Visual Studio Code), and then review, save, or publish your changes without leaving the designer. The extension is designed for developers, Power Platform consultants, administrators, and advanced users who want to understand the structure of their automations in detail and make changes to their JSON definition more quickly. 🔥 Key Features 1️⃣ Integrated JSON editing An “Edit flow in JSON” button is added directly to the Power Automate designer toolbar. The editor opens in a resizable side panel, without interrupting your work or requiring you to manually export the flow. Easily copy the complete JSON definition of your flow to share it with ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, Gemini, or any other AI to analyze, debug, and help you improve it. 2️⃣ A True Code-Editing Experience Take advantage of the Monaco Editor to work in a clear and powerful interface: • JSON syntax highlighting • Indentation and formatting • Syntax error detection • Validation against the flow schema • More comfortable navigation through complex definitions • Familiar keyboard shortcuts, including Ctrl+S or Cmd+S 3️⃣ Validation with Power Automate Check your definition before saving it using the official Microsoft Power Automate validation APIs. Any detected errors and warnings are displayed directly in the extension to help you correct the flow before publishing it. 4️⃣ Save as a draft Save your changes to the flow draft without publishing them immediately. This allows you to prepare and review your changes before making them live. 5️⃣ Direct Publishing When your definition is ready, publish the flow directly from the JSON editor. The extension uses your existing Microsoft session and the official Power Automate and Dataverse APIs to save and publish the selected flow. 6️⃣ Full-Screen Mode Open the editor in a dedicated tab to have more space when working on large or particularly complex flows. 7️⃣ On-the-Fly Activation Enable or disable the integration from the extension icon. Your preference is stored locally in Chrome, and the Power Automate interface is updated automatically. 🌍 Multilingual Extension Power Automate Editor is available in multiple languages and automatically adapts its interface to the language configured in Chrome. 🔐 Privacy and Security Power Automate Editor respects your privacy: • No third-party accounts required • No ads • No analytics or tracking tools • No data sent to the developer • No external servers operated by the developer • No JavaScript code loaded remotely • Functionality limited to necessary Microsoft pages and APIs • Secure communications exclusively via HTTPS To function, the extension temporarily detects the context of the open flow as well as the authentication information already used by your Microsoft session. This information is used solely to communicate with official Microsoft APIs in order to load, validate, save, or publish the requested flow. Authentication tokens are stored only temporarily in the local browser session. They are not permanently saved, synchronized, or transmitted to the developer or any advertising service. 🖱️ How to use it? 1. Install Power Automate Editor 2.
