Run a flow built with Power Automate for desktop step - Dynamic uiFlowId field

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by CA_RSP 45

Hello Power Automate Masters,

 

I'm trying to use a cloud flow to kick off a set of desktop flows, however I found the Desktop Flow input field does not take variables and I have to hardcode the flow in this step. Is there any way to make this step accept dynamic value, so that I can let the flow determine which flow to kick off at runtime?

    Dear C,

    Suggest you use a SWITCH action in your cloud flow such that the determination for which desktop flow to kick off is done there.

     

    Hope this helps,

    Happy flowing,

    Koen
