Need Help Automating a flow

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 34

Very new to PAD.  I watched some videos and was able to replicate a flow where it downloads a file from a link when the email arrives.  If I click "Run" the flow works fine but it is not automatically running like I thought it would.  

 

So instead of having to click "Run", how do I trigger the flow automatically when the email arrives in my inbox?
