"Run Flow" popup about connections breaks the flow

Posted on by addar34

Hi,

I use Windows Task Scheduler to run my flows. However, when I start my flow the "Run flow" popup appears - breaking the entire flow. Is there any way to bypass this without any hacky solutions? Maybe some parameter I could change in the Run URL? I use PAD version: 2.44.

PS I know I can also schedule that using the Power Automate Platform but I'm specifically interested in running it via Windows Task Scheduler.

I haven't used Task Scheduler but I saw this thread where @Chetan_Ninghot gave solution to this or similar sounding issue: https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Power-Automate-Desktop/Power-Automate-flow-makes-me-click-OK-when-quot-Run-Flow-quot/m-p/2796377

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

That solution is related to a different pop-up. The one for connections is new and has not been resolved yet. The only ways to currently work around it is by downgrading PAD, or removing any cloud connectors from the flow, unfortunately.

Do you know where I could get the installers of older versions of PAD? I don't think Microsoft makes older installers available

This GitHub repo has them since v 2.40, which should be enough for you to resolve this issue: https://github.com/jfevia/Power-Automate-Desktop/releases
