Dynamically Trigger a Power Automate Desktop (PAD) Flow on Any User’s Machine from a Cloud Flow

Hi everyone,

I’m working on a solution where I need a Power Automate Cloud Flow to dynamically trigger a Power Automate Desktop (PAD) Flow that runs on the machine of the user who initiated the Cloud Flow.

Currently, I’m able to successfully call the desktop flow on my own machine by setting the connection to use my credentials. However, my goal is to allow this functionality for any user dynamically—provided we have their machine credentials or the necessary connection settings.

What I have achieved so far:

Cloud Flow successfully calls PAD Flow using my machine credentials.

What I need to achieve:

Enable the Cloud Flow to trigger the PAD Flow on any user’s machine dynamically when they initiate the Cloud Flow.
Ensure that the flow uses the correct connection/credentials for the invoking user’s machine.
Need the desktop flow to run on any users PC and perform automations with minimal local setups in prior

Has anyone implemented a similar solution? Is there a way to dynamically switch the connection or authenticate the PAD Flow based on the initiating user? Any guidance or best practices would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
