InfoPath Forms Services in SharePoint will be retired on 14 July 2026. And for organisations still relying on InfoPath 2013 and legacy SharePoint workflows, this deadline is more than a technical change; it’s a business risk. 

At Bridgeall, we’re already supporting organisations across the UK to replace InfoPath with modern, secure, and scalable solutions built on the Microsoft Power Platform. If you’re searching for how to replace InfoPath forms or migrate SharePoint 2013 workflows to Power Automate, here’s what you need to know

When Will InfoPath Forms Be Removed? 

Microsoft has confirmed that InfoPath Forms Services will be removed from SharePoint after 14 July 2026, aligning with the end of extended support for InfoPath Client 2013. 

After this date: 

  • InfoPath browser forms will no longer function in SharePoint Online 
  • Designers will not be able to publish new or updated forms 
  • Users will not be able to submit forms through InfoPath 
  • Admin configuration options will be removed 

There will be no extension option beyond July 2026. For many organisations, InfoPath is still embedded in critical business processes, from project requests and HR forms to approvals and automated workflows. Now is the time to act.

Why replace InfoPath Forms with Power Apps?

Unlike InfoPath, which has been retired and is no longer receiving updates, Microsoft Power Apps is a fully supported platform that continues to evolve as part of Microsoft’s broader Power Platform ecosystem.  

This allows organisations to move beyond static forms and build dynamic, data-driven applications that connect seamlessly with Microsoft 365 services, SharePoint, Dataverse, SQL databases and other business systems.  

Power Apps enables teams to digitise and automate processes while maintaining compliance and scalability. As Microsoft continues to invest heavily in the Power Platform, adopting Power Apps ensures organisations are building solutions on a platform aligned with Microsoft’s long-term cloud and innovation roadmap. 

Key Benefits of Moving from InfoPath to Power Apps

  •  Modern, mobile-friendly user experience 
  • Secure integration with Microsoft 365 
  • Strong governance and compliance controls 
  • Scalable beyond simple form collection 
  • Future-proof Microsoft-backed platform 

Unlike InfoPath, Power Apps is actively developed and aligned with Microsoft’s long-term cloud strategy. 

Replacing SharePoint 2013 Workflows with Power Automate

Many InfoPath solutions rely on legacy SharePoint 2013 workflows, which are now outdated. Replacing them with Microsoft Power Automate allows organisations to automate approvals, trigger notifications, integrate systems, and streamline processes. This modern approach improves visibility, reporting, and resilience, while reducing manual work and technical debt.

Common InfoPath Migration Scenarios

When retiring InfoPath, organisations face a variety of migration challenges depending on how their forms and workflows were built. Understanding the most common scenarios helps ensure a smooth transition to modern, supported solutions. At Bridgeall, we typically see four scenarios: 

Simple Data Collection Forms
Surveys, internal requests, contact forms. Replaced with Power Apps or Microsoft Forms 

Forms Connecting to Multiple Data Sources
Complex data validation and integration. Rebuild in Power Apps with secure connectors 

Workflow-Driven Processes
Approvals and automation tied to InfoPath. Replace with Power Apps + Power Automate 

Complex or Custom Code Scenarios
Advanced logic or legacy dependencies. Modernise using Power Platform architecture 

By identifying the right approach for each scenario, whether simple forms, data integrations, workflows, or complex custom logic, organisations can modernise efficiently with Power Apps and Power Automate, reducing technical debt and improving long-term flexibility. 

The Risk of Doing Nothing with InfoPath Forms

If InfoPath solutions are not migrated before July 2026: 

  • Business-critical forms will stop functioning 
  • Workflow automation will break 
  • Users will be unable to submit new entries 
  • Organisations may face operational disruption 

Migration projects take planning, especially where governance, compliance, and security are involved. The earlier you assess, the smoother the transition.
