Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hello,

Simple and maybe stupid question, but I don't see where I can setup the moment I want my Flow to start on the installed software version of Power Autom. I see my flows on the start screen and can start them, but that's all I see. 

thx for your help,

Bruno

    You cant. All automatic triggering and scheduling is handled from the Cloud Portal. Desktop app is for editing and directly starting the flows.
