Power Automate extension is installed but not working

(12) ShareShare

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

I installed the Power Automate extension on Miscosofe Edge, Google Chrome and Firefox but none of them working.

Everytime when I try to use record, it popped up a message ask me to get the extension which I already installed. 

You can see it is there behind the message. In my settings, the Power Automate extension is "ON" as well.

Anyone knows how to fix the probelm? Thank you very much!

    same problem.  I can even get red frames around different elements, but when I click ctrl and left button on mouse, no elements are EVER added to flow, regardless of browser.

    Did anyone ever figure this out?  Mine just started doing this last night and I uninstall the extensions, reinstalled, same for all the browsers, did a system restore but the same thing keeps happening.

    It's already working on me after I reinstall the power automate desktop to the Microsoft page.
    Make sure it will request for admin permission. I think I encounter this because the package I installed first is not completed.

    Finally i find a solution ..

    Do not install "Power automation app" from "Microsoft Store" 

    install it from here:

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/desktop-flows/install

    and it will work and detect extension finely.

     

    i think the probleme was that the installation of "Power Automation" via "Microsoft Store" didn't install the "webdriver" and "chromedriver" that used in our web flow.
