Any documentation on migration from workflow to flow designer 

Hey @10545_0 ,
the best practice here is to use Flow Designer for all new topics that you tackle.

Workflows do not need to be migrated immediately because they are not being deactivated. This means as soon as you need to access an old workflow, for example, to further develop a new version of it, use this opportunity and migrate the entire workflow to Flow Designer.

So step by step 😊

If you are new to the topic, there are a couple of on demand trainings available at ServiceNow University:

my thoughts

-> ServiceNow will convert it's OOTB workflows to Flow, you need not worry on that

-> Existing workflows will continue to run after upgrading to Zurich; only new instances cannot create new legacy workflows

Hi @10545_0 

I think we are in the same situation. Here’s what we followed:

  • It’s best to first review which workflows are actually being used by end users.

  • Take some time to analyze them—since you are planning to migrate to Flow Designer, see where optimization is possible.

  • We faced a similar issue: around 150 items were tied to a single workflow, and it was fully customized. We flagged this and started moving items one by one into Flow Designer (dividing them into multiple sprint cycles and optimizing them along the way).

  • Also, check this link to see what ServiceNow presented at Zurich regarding Flow Designer.
