Schedule a flow in desktop without license.

Posted on by Sanskruti 108

Hello,

 

I have created a flow which refreshes my excel file and then sends an email.

 

Is there any way we can schedule it without any license?

Thank you.

    No. A Premium license is needed to have any kind of triggers or schedules in PAD.

    This is false. A Premium license is needed to run a flow via Task Scheduler, too.
