Hi @prashiss ,

You can call Power Automate Desktop flow from Cloud Portal using Action 'Run a flow built with Power Automate Desktop', kindly refer the url https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/guidance/rpa-sap-playbook/creating-cloud-flow-to-launch-desktop-flow .

Or if you want to call directly using web APIs kindly refer https://powerautomate.microsoft.com/en-gb/blog/manage-your-power-automate-desktop-flows-using-web-apis/

thanks,

@prashiss

You can call desktop flow directly using Web API's as well.

Please refer the below references
Work with desktop flows using code - Power Automate | Microsoft Learn
Manage your Power Automate Desktop flows using Web APIs | Power Automate Blog (microsoft.com)

Or follow the same above @AK88 shared link https://www.c-sharpcorner.com/article/how-to-trigger-a-power-automate-flow-from-powerapps/ and once you create power apps trigger instead of send an email action you can build your cloud flow like below (Invoke your desktop flow using "Run a flow Built with power automate desktop) and call from power apps.

Thanks @AK88 . But My requirement is calling existing Power automate desktop flow from power apps
While in above article they are talking about Power automate cloud flow. So, this does not fit to my requirement. But thanks for your reply.
