Power Automate Desktop Scheduled Flow While computer is off

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 2

Hello,

 

I am new to the Power Automate community.  I was wondering if I have purchased power automate per user plan ($15/mo), can I configure a desktop flow to trigger on a schedule i.e. 9am every morning. 

 

If so, is it possible to have this flow run even when my computer is off? 

 

Thank you all in advance for all of the helpful insight!

    To trigger a desktop flow you would need the per user plan with RPA ($40/mo)

    For your other question, no a desktop flow can't be triggered to run when the computer is turned off.  You can run an unattended desktop flow when a computer is not logged in, but on.  But unattended flows require additional licensing.
