Sometimes we create a new business process flow, which needs to be applied to existing records. Today I will present you a way to do it using the Cloud Flows in Power Automate. The approach presented is a proof of concept that can be significantly improved, you will get the general idea that you can adapt to your own needs.

As a quick note, the created business process flow on the CRM automatically provides a table with the same name as the process. This table records the BPF instances applied to a given entity. We will now manipulate the records that represent the BPF instances to implement our scenario. Below is a summary of the steps used in the Cloud Flow.
