Can you pass an input from a Button Flow to a PAD Flow?

Posted on by Cayshin 338

In a normal Button Flow, you can have the User provide inputs that the Flow can then use. Can I do something similar, but have the PAD Flow use those inputs?

 

I'd assume if it was possible it'd be as easy as below, but I'm not sure how I'd then reference that input in the PAD Flow.

    Thanks @miketran13! 

     

    I never noticed the Input/Output Variables section in PAD. Once I created a variable there it then showed up as a field in my Run a Flow built with Power Automate Desktop step.
