What it does

This action works with SharePoint list items, files, folders, metadata, content approval, or permissions. The key migration inputs are the target site, list or library, field mappings, and any dynamic item identifiers.

How Flow Migrator maps it

Flow Migrator maps this to Grant access to an item or a folder using SharePoint. Permission mapping is planned; deterministic user/role parameter mapping is still needed before automatic export. Flow Migrator recognizes this pattern, but automatic export is still planned or limited.

Common migration issues

  • Automatic export is not complete yet; use the page as planning guidance and handle this action manually or with a placeholder.
  • Validate SharePoint site, list/library, content type, required fields, person fields, lookup fields, and attachment or file path behavior.
  • Run a test instance and compare outputs against the original Nintex workflow before production migration.

Validation checklist

  1. Review this item before export or immediately after import.
  2. Open the generated flow and confirm the action card imported correctly.
  3. Validate connection references and required settings before running the flow.
  4. Test with representative source data from the original workflow.
  5. Confirm site/list/library names and complex field mappings in the target tenant.
