how to add input variables in a desktop flow using command line

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

I have a couple of desktop flows I want to call from a command line.  I have found the following: "PAD.Console.Host.exe" "ms-powerautomate:/console/flow/run?workflowName=[workflowname]", and it works great, I just cannot find how to add input variables to it.  Any help would be welcome.

 

Thanks

    @wpopelier1978 , The feature of Input/Output variables through URL is not yet available.

    I have added some possible options here, hope something like that suits your situation. If not then we'll have to wait for something like that to be released.

    @VJR  Any idea when or if this will be implemented.  Right now I can help myself with linking some Cloud Flows to my Desktop Flows and trigger them this way using json but that introduces latency and is not ideal.
