Hello,

My Client is using Dynamics 365 CRM On-Premises and Online both version and there are 100+ workflow they have created, Background +Real Time Both workflows they are using, now someone told me that Microsoft is planning to deprecated D365 CRM Classic Workflow therefore they are recommending to create the workflow in Flow(Power Automate).

Can't we use this Classic Workflow for next couple of years atleast?? I know that in Power Automate there are more functionalities that's y MS recommending but if we want to use this classic workflow only for Background and Real Time then can we use or need to convert in flow??

Thinking for long time also, if MS will deprecated next year then what??

Please suggest me, what to do for this??

Thanks,

Ankit Shah

    Hello Ankit,

    The main gap between classing workflows and power automate flows is real-time. Power Automate can't do it now and I don't remember hearing when this gap will be addressed. I believe your customer has few years of using Classin Workflows.

    Hello There,

    There is no official announcement for deprecation but it is coming. If you have large number of classic background workflows it is better to start converting them in Flow to avoid last minute struggle is what I would recommend.

    Reference: docs.microsoft.com/.../replace-workflows-with-flows
