Substitute for AI builder in Power Automate Desktop

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 6

I am trying to automate the invoice processing received via outlook. Although, I plan to do it on Power Automate Desktop instead of the cloud flow because in order to save the files we need to install an on-premises data gateway, my company is not open to it because of security reasons. 

 

I need to extract information from the invoice like Invoice number, Invoice Date, Vendor Name and Purchase Order and rename the files using a naming convention as 'EII_INV_Vendor Name_Invoice number_Purchase Order_Invoice Date.pdf' and save it on the Z folder of the local desktop directory.

 

Since, we do not have AI builder to perform the extraction of this information on the desktop version, what are the alternate solutions? How would we implement them?

 

Thank You!

    If you only need to get and/or save files to a local file system, then there are cloud flow connectors for that: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/connectors/filesystem/

    @takolota initially I tried local file systems' create file action and provided the desktop path but I got the 'gateway' not found error and it can only be solved by installing an on-premises data gateway, which my company opted against.
