Problems with the ‘Run a flow built with Power Automate for desktop’ action

Posted on by RP-29011501-0
I’m experiencing an issue with the “Run a flow built with Power Automate for desktop” action. The desktop flows picker does not list all my flows, and the input variable fields defined in the desktop flow are not shown. Could you advise on a solution or workaround? I’ve already tried updating the connector.

    Make sure you are in the same environment in the Power Automate Cloud as where your Power Automate Desktop flows are located.



    Also you will need at minimum Power Automate Premium for your user for being able to run PAD flows attended and if you want unattended then you need Power Automate Process license for the environment.
