Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Is there a possibility that I can have a shortcut on my desktop which points directly to a specific flow in Power Automate desktop?

For example, each morning I want to open, Outlook, and Edge with a specific site. can I have a shortcut to that flow without opening PAD first and trigger the flow manually.

is this possible in the CommandLine with parameters or something like that.

Thanks for your help

Hi Jordy,

As I know until now, we don't have any available options / features that can achieve your goals right now.

But I think that is a good idea, you can submit your ideas to Power Automate Ideas here: https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Power-Automate-Ideas/idb-p/MPAIdeas

Thanks and hope it can help you.
Mike

Yes, this requirement is brand new!!! No one in the last three decades of computing would've liked or has wanted a shortcut on their desktop. Hurry, lets add this to Microsoft's "User Voice" so they'll be made aware of this. THEN we can all sit around for the next half a century waiting for them to provide it. Sorry to say: never going to happen, MOST requests fall on deaf ears.

Just like the request for dark mode. It's blatantly obvious that every app these days should have it, especially one like this, but not for microsoft, oh no! They don't even know what dark mode is just yet. Knowing microsoft, in a couple of decades, they might introduce the "Monochrome mode" or "Colourful mode", but dark mode? Nah

Not that my vote is needed or will be considered. . .is there some magic to seeing the User Voice page recommended? I get access denied when I try to go to: https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Power-Automate-Ideas/idb-p/MPAIdeas
