Hi, my question is simple.

In Power Automate (cloud) you have the possibility to run actions in parallel.

Is there the same possibility in PAD?

Thanks in advance.

All the code in PAD is sequential, when you call subflow it needs to complete / exit before next code is executed.

Re: Parallel branch in PAD

I think subFlows can do the job.

Re: Parallel branch in PAD

Since Power Automate Desktop flows interact with the desktop I don't believe there is any way to create parallel branches inside a PAD flow. If you are running in unattended mode you can run multiple flows on a single machine, but they would all be run in different sessions.
