Power Automate Desktop and Cloud Connection

Need Help. I have a flow that runs perfectly on desktop but when I add I try to call and run it from Cloud. It starts but status remain "running" for minutes. I've tried to re-install gateway, download new PAD, create a new environment. All to no avail. Is there a way I can run the flow on cloud and synch with PAD. In the VM when I start the process there is no activity backend. 

 

Your response will be appreciated.

    Hey @jonathangich 

    I am not really sure the method I will suggest you will work or not.

    Connecting cloud flow with desktop flow with the help of data gateway has been deprecated. So, try using the new thing called Machines, by which you can directly connect your flow to the machine.

    Check out the link below:

    Also watch the video below:

    If you have any doubts, just reply.
