Question details
The user needs a method to identify which specific Power Apps are associated with Power Automate flows that utilize premium connectors.
- Product
- Microsoft Power Automate and Power Apps
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Performing environment inventory reporting and attempting to map precise relationships between apps and flows.
- Observed behavior
- Standard reports successfully identify flows using premium connectors, but fail to clearly display which Power Apps are tied to those specific flows.
Ensure you are logged into Power Automate with an account that either owns the flows you want to inspect or has Environment Admin privileges to access administrative tracking features.
Check Connection Data for Your Owned Flows
This is the most direct method to find associated apps for flows you have personally created or currently own.
If you are looking for app associations within your personal workspace, the native Power Automate Connections interface provides straightforward visibility into what resources are utilizing a specific premium connector.
Log in to the Power Automate web portal using your Microsoft account credentials.
On the left-hand navigation pane, expand the 'Data' section and click on 'Connections'.
Scroll through your list of connections to locate the specific premium connector you are auditing, and click on it.
Within the connection's details page, review the list of Power Apps displayed to see exactly which apps are currently using this premium connection.
Use Admin Connectors and PowerShell for Environment Reporting
Administrators can pull broader metadata across an entire environment using admin connectors or scripts, though relationship data may be limited.
Streamline Your Daily Work with WPS Office
While Microsoft Power Platform handles complex app and workflow automation, your daily documentation and data management needs can be handled effortlessly with WPS Office. As a free, lightweight, and highly compatible alternative to Microsoft Office, it helps you manage your Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files without expensive licensing.

- 3. Open Your Files: Launch WPS Office and instantly open your existing Microsoft Office documents, spreadsheets, and presentations with perfect formatting.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why can I only see the apps associated with flows I own?
Due to Microsoft Power Automate's security and permissions model, standard users can only view connection associations for resources they have created or have explicitly been granted owner access to. Global visibility requires administrative tools.
Does the 'List Flows As Admin' connector provide full app details?
No. Currently, the 'List Flows As Admin' connector and equivalent PowerShell scripts typically only retrieve metadata containing basic Power Apps trigger details. A complete, direct mapping of every flow to its parent app is not natively provided in these reports.
How can I request a feature for better app-to-flow reporting?
You can submit your requirements for deeper inventory reporting and app-to-flow relationship mapping directly to the Microsoft product team through the official Microsoft Feedback portal.
