Trigger a flow on station unlock

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 1

My station is used primarily as a dumb terminal to a remote virtual machine, which is where I do my main work. The problem is whenever I lock my station ([win]+[L]) both the VM and the local stations are locked, so when I unlock, I need to unlock twice - first the local station and then the remote machine.

Is there a way to create a flow that whenever I unlock my local station, will automatically perform some steps to unlock the remote machine?

The problem is mostly to trigger a flow on station unlock. From there I can build the rest of the steps manually.

 

thanks.

    This will be possible in PAD, but with a paid license.

    With the latest feature of PAD, one can schedule Desktop flows from the Windows Task scheduler and there is a trigger which invokes after a workstation is unlocked.
