@selva raj I haven't been in SharePoint designer for a very long time, but here's what I do know--Microsoft Flow uses JSON for its workflows. From an uninformed point of view, I'm doubtful there is a simple way to convert a Designer workflow to a Flow workflow--I don't remember SharePoint designer having a concept of connections, which is a critical piece of Flow. That said, I'd invite you to take a look at the files Flow provides upon export--if you engineer your Designer workflow files to fit that format, I'd think that's your best bet.

Hello @selva raj - We have tried to find an easier way for one of my projects, but ended up re-designing in MS Flow. I doubt MS will even come up with an automation engine for such conversions as the both of these are architecturally different.

@RobElliott Why bother attacking the background selva_raj laid out? You have no evidence selva doesn't have as many workflows as claimed--SharePoint environments can be massive, and so can be the organizations that use them. And you don't think selva already considered that they'd have to recreate them? Why not ask if someone else had encountered a solution, even when that might seem unlikely? This forum wouldn't exist if everyone knew how to solve their own problems--please keep that in mind when you post.
