Companies that have been using Power Automate with personal Microsoft accounts (typically @outlook.com or @hotmail.com) should take note. Microsoft announced that starting May 27, 2025, it will no longer be possible to create new flows connected to personal identities, and as of July 26, 2025, existing personal flows will stop working entirely. This change mainly affects scenarios where personal accounts were used instead of official work accounts or service identities—often for historical reasons or due to quick automation deployments without IT department support.
From a company perspective, this is not just a technical change. It’s an opportunity to clean up the environment, unify access methods, and transition to a safer and more manageable solution.
What Does This Mean for Companies?
- All active flows must be migrated to work or school accounts.
- The importance of identity management and proper permission settings is increasing.
- This opens up the possibility to unify automations under the management of centralized service accounts.
What We Recommend
- Conduct an audit of existing flows and verify which accounts they’re running under.
- Consider deploying managed components that enable better oversight and scalability.
- Delete old and unused personal flows and implement consistent naming conventions for easier management.
