Microsoft has confirmed the hard retirement date for SharePoint 2013 workflows: April 2, 2026. After this date, SharePoint 2013 workflows will no longer run. Organizations still relying on these workflows must migrate to Power Automate to avoid disruption.
Hard retirement date: April 2, 2026. No extensions expected.
Migration Steps
- Inventory Existing SharePoint 2013 Workflows
- Use the SharePoint Migration Tool to identify dependencies
- Rebuild workflows in Power Automate
Microsoft's Power Automate migration guidance is available on Microsoft Learn.
Our Take
This is the right call, but Microsoft is underselling how disruptive it'll be. Users have built years of muscle memory around that Chat / Teams split — expect a wave of support tickets the week it lands. Get ahead of it with a quick communication to your users before it shows up, not after.
Bottom Line
Good change, bad rollout timing for unprepared orgs. Send a user comm now.
