So, basically i developed a desktop power automate flow that register my work timekeeping automatically, i already exported it to the power automate web and i managed to execute it through my browser:

And my objective now is to run it through the copilot, like a conversation that i would ask for it to run the automation, but when i ask it to run i receive this message:

And when i click on the "Connect" button i go to this page where it says that i am not connected:

Then i click on Connect located at the right where it says not connected and go to this screen:

I click on my pc, wait for it to load and click on send at the bottom of the screen, and then return to this screen where it still says that i am not connected:

is there anything i am doing wrong? Can someone help me?

Connection reference should be added to the solution. Add all the components (Power Automate flow, Copilot, Connection references) to a solution. Try re-connecting the connections in Copilot Studio - Manage Connections page. It should resolve the issue.

Hi VC-07111659-0,

It looks like Power Automate’s desktop flows require additional permissions or connections to execute in a web or cloud environment.

Check if the permissions for accessing desktop flows are enabled and linked to your machine. You can do this under "My Flows" > "Desktop flows" and confirm that the flow shows your PC as a connected device. Also in Power Automate Desktop check if the Machine Runtime app is installed and connected to the environment where you published the flow.

If you are on a corporate or secure network, certain security policies may block Power Automate Desktop from communicating with Power Automate’s web service. Check with your IT administrator to ensure these connections aren’t being blocked.

Thanks.
