Question

What does "there is no available Power Automate environment" mean from the SharePoint Migration Tool?

Phillips, Keith 701

I'm the farm admin for an on-prem SharePoint 2019 server. I'm trying to migrate SharePoint 2010 workflows to SharePoint Online using the SharePoint Migration Tool. It lets me get to the "Select a workflow target" part, but after I enter the target SharePoint Online URL, I get this error: "There is no available Power Automate environment, please create your environment first and go back again." But I have a PA environment, although it's not attached to SharePoint Online that I know of. What am I missing?

For those who come after...

If you're on GCC I had to change one line in the config file: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepointmigration/spmt-settings#government-cloud-support
