Input from user with multiple variables

Posted on by horsts

Hello! How would you handle multiple user inputs for PDA? Say choose from a list, press a button, enter text that is later used in the flow. I was used to have custom dialogues in WinAutomation and am now on the conversion of these dialogues.

Thank you!

Horst

You can create Power Apps with multiple form inputs for the same and call it from Cloud Flow which contains PAD flow.

Kindly refer the below link, hope it will give you some idea.

Hi @horsts

- Create an Automated OR Instant OR Scheduled Cloud Flow depending on your needs as to how you want it to run.

Note: this menu will not be available in Power Automate Desktop.
It will be seen in flow.microsoft.com

While doing this, you can give inputs - refer below links
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/learn/modules/button-user-input/1-user-inputs
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/learn/modules/button-user-input/2-input-types

- Form that flow which you just created, you can call a Desktop flow along with passing of input variables.
Use the Desktop flows connector.

Note: I have used "Manually trigger a flow" as the Trigger. You can use any as per your requirement.

Hello @horsts,

In "Message boxes" category, there are actions which you can receive input from user, such as "Display input dialog" or "Display select from list dialog".
