Power Automate flow makes me click OK when "Run Flow" popup to allow connection appears

(3) ShareShare

Posted on by 8
I made a power automate flow that is triggered daily by task scheduler. Everything works great, but when the flow is triggered Power Automate has this popup that says "Run Flow - This flow uses connections with the following connectors. A green checkmark means you are ready to go."

And I have to hit OK for the flow to run. The goal is for it to run with no intervention from me. How do I get rid of this popup?

I have already turned off "Display confirmation dialog when invoking flows externally"

I cannot set up a cloud flow that triggers it because I'd need to connect unattended with a user and pswd which isn't allowed. Thanks!

    HIi,@lanzing1 

    When You try to running your flow externally ie. from task scheduler its showing popup for your conformation.

    if you don't want this popup then you need to do change setting.

    Go to Setting and uncheck the checkbox for display conformation box when invoking flow externally

    Check below screenshot for reference

     

    (Note:- if you got your solution you can mark as solution and gives kudos)

     

    Thanks & Regards

    Thanks for your response. I should have mentioned this previously, but I already have that setting turned off.

    I ran into the exact same problem today but I was able to put together a workaround. Note that this prompt comes up when the desktop flow needs to authenticate with a cloud platform, even though it already has for some weird reason. We have another computer running a localized flow with no cloud account interaction that doesn't run into this issue.
     
    In my case, I need a Desktop Power Automate flow to start after the computer restarts (from overnight updates) and autologin so there's no significant interruption in the flow that runs on a loop (with a pause of a few minutes every cycle).
     
    PREVIOUS WORKFLOW
    It was pretty easy to do by opening Desktop Power Automate and clicking the flow I want, three dot menu and  "Create desktop shortcut". Then I would put that shortcut in the Windows 10 startup folder by going to Start menu, run, typing "shell:startup" enter and putting the shortcut in the folder. However after updating to the newest version, that's when I had the same problem. Even with toggling off the notification box. Then I followed obscure instructions to toggle the specific connector to be embedded from the cloud side of things, but no change.
     
    NEW WORKFLOW
    I created the desktop shortcut for the flow and left it on the desktop. Then I utilized AutoHotKey (version 2) to create a script with the below example code that would wait 140 seconds (shown in milliseconds) after reboot/sign-in, run the desktop flow shortcut, wait 10 seconds (giving enough time for the connector prompt to show), then trigger the "Enter" keyboard button to virtually press "Okay" to start the flow. Keeping in mind that I have the AutoHotKey file (.ahk) in the same startup folder listed above. It's not perfect but it seems to work.
     
    Hopefully Microsoft makes it so we don't have to have another program running to run their automation program.
     
     
    Here's the AutoHotKey (version 2) example code:
     
    sleep 140000
    run "C:\Users\youraccounthere\Desktop\NameOfFlow - Power Automate.url"
    sleep 10000
    Send('{Enter}')
