Custom list templates can now include Power Automate flows

Even though they were just released, custom list templates are getting another boost! To evolve Microsoft Lists and enable more users to take advantage of automations, admin users now have the option to create and deploy custom list templates that include pre-created Power Automate flows. When end users create a list from the deployed custom list template, they will also have the option to install any pre-created flows that are attached to that list template. You can use this feature to create a list + automation template that can be adopted by many teams across your organization.

When this will happen:

Targeted Release: Will begin rolling out early July 2023 and expect to complete by mid-July 2023.

Standard Release: Will begin rolling out mid-July 2023 and expect to complete by late July 2023.

How this will affect your organization:

List creators who create a list from a custom list template that includes a pre-created flow will see a modal prompting them to install the included Power Automate flow after their list has been created. Flows installed via a list template are solution-aware flows.

Users with a Microsoft 365 E3 license, Microsoft E5 license, or Power Automate per-user plan can create and use Power Automate flows.

What you need to do to prepare:

You might want to notify your users about these new capabilities in custom list templates and update your training and documentation as appropriate.
