Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

Hi,

I am new to power automate desktop flow, I need to know do we have any way to change the priority of the bot once it is queued? Imagine the scenario where we triggered the bot for Request 1, Request 2, Request 3 they are queued, and the bot started processing Request 1 so Req 2, Req 3 are queued. Now the priority of Req 3 is to be changed to high so that the bot will process Req 3 after processing Req 1. It will be helpful if you have any way to achieve the same.

Thanks in advance.

Power Automate Desktop

If you run the desktop flow from a cloud flow, you can set a priority when launching it. If you use the Work Queue functionality, your items can also have priorities that you can modify. But other than that (and especially after a flow has already been queued) there is no way to change the priority in which it is picked up. It is essentially processed in the order in which it was invoked (triggered).

You need to build a workload management system to do that essentially, and handle priorities at the time when you invoke the flow. Using Work Queues is one of the possible ways to do that. Alternatively, it is also possible to build a custom solution, but it is arguably quite complex to do.
