On June 6th Chris McNulty of Microsoft published a blog post (Link Below) on the retirement of SharePoint 2010 workflows.
"SharePoint 2010 workflow creation with SharePoint Online using SharePoint Designer 2013 will be turned off for any newly created tenants starting August 2020 and existing tenants starting November 2020. SharePoint Designer 2013 will work with SharePoint Server 2019 for the remainder of the client support lifecycle (2026). SharePoint Designer 2013 will not be supported beyond that timeframe."
Time Frame:
- Starting August 1st, 2020, SharePoint 2010 workflows will be turned off for newly created tenants.
- Starting November 1st, 2020, Microsoft will begin to remove the ability to run or create SharePoint 2010 workflows from existing tenants.
While most new organizations won't have a problem with this because they are likely running SPOnline or a newer on-prem version there are still a number of large number of these workflows in existence. The guidance at this point in time is that if you haven't already begin building these items in PowerAutomate to start doing so now. Provided below are links to some great resources for the Power Platform and if you have any questions as always feel free to reach out.
