Run Desktop Flow - No inputs

Posted on by JonathanGiunta9

Hello All,

I've recently acquired the Premium license, and I've begun using the "Run a flow built with Power Automate Desktop" action.

Only problem is, with my most recent flow, I create a file in a folder based on the trigger, and the I wish to pass on the filename I use to the Desktop flow, but the action does not have an input field:

While on PAD I already have the inputs created

Worst thing is, with other flows this works:

I already tried the following stuff:

- Change identities in the cloud action

- Log out PAD

- Log out PA cloud

- Remove the action and add it again

- Save the PAD flow

- Edit the PAD flow then saving it again

I'm don't know what to do anymore, does anyona

Hi @JonathanGiunta9

After saving the PAD flow, you may delete "Run a flow built with Power Automate for desktop" action in the cloud and then again add it to see the changes in the parameters. If we make changes in the PAD input/output parameters, then we need to re-add (delete & add) run desktop flow action in cloud to reflect those parameters in the parent cloud flow.

If this helps & solves your problem, please remember to give a 👍 and accept my solution as it will help others in the future.

Thanks

Hello @ManishSolanki,
Thank you for your reply, but I have already tried it, it was in the list of stuff i've already tried ("Remove the action and add it again")

Do you have any other suggestion for me to try?

I know this thread is probably too old to really help you Jonathan, but it is found on Google: For me it helped to create a copy of the Desktop Flow by using "Save As". For the identical twin the Inputs show up for some magical reason.
