Accessing Microsoft Flow in SharePoint "Classic" Interface.

Our SharePoint online was in Modern Interface for some time and during that time a user created a workflow using the 'Microsoft Flow' functionality (Flow feature was accessed from within the SharePoint instead of accessing Flow from the SharePoint "tile"). Since then we are back to 'Classic Interface' in SharePoint and I am not able to see the "flow" created. I tried looking for it  through SharePoint Designer etc but no luck. I have full control over the list and related sub-site.

 

Will such workflows be visible to the user in the "https://flow.microsoft.com/en-us/" ? I am yet to check with user, but if its not visible to the user (who created the Flow), then is there a way to access the that flow in classic interface of SharePoint? We just want to delete that flow and create a new classic workflow using SharePoint Designer and not use 'Microsoft Flow' for the time being.

    Yes, the user who created the flow should see it in the Flow portal....as you have said, it's not possible to access to Flow from the classic SPO experience for both lists and document libraries

      Thanks Juan.

       

      1) I was wondering if the Flows are tied to a particular person creating the Flow then how do we handle situations where there are changes to SharePoint Admin personnel. How do we maintain those Flows.

       

      2) Also for a simple Flow where we send an email on creating a list item, the email going out has the email of the person who created the Flow (unlike in traditional Workflows where the "site" is mentioned as sender like "Team Site <no-reply@sharepointonline.com>"). Is there a way to have similar sender address in Flows.

       

      3) The traditional Workflows allow us format the contents of email using simple html code. Is that something we can do in Flow as well?

       

      Thanks for your valued inputs.

        Hi Vivek,
        Just my two cents here:
        1) You can share your workflows with others, so you could deal with a situation when there are changes in the personnel by means of this feature
        2) AFAIK, this is something you cannot configure in Flow actions to send e-mail
        3) You can already do this adding HTML code in the body property of the e-mail action
