How to Transfer variables from Cloud Power Automate to Desktop Power Automate

Posted on 4 Dec 2023 16:52:41 by 5

I am trying to build a flow that when a new entry is added into a list, it takes the variables created from that item in the list and then sends it to Power automate desktop. I have the connection set-up from Cloud to Desktop however when I try to fill in the fields using variables from the new item in the list, it does not show up.

    Hi @KarlS190 

     

    Add "Create user" action and pass the input variables by clicking on 'X' icon and select from the list:

    In cloud flow, initialize a variable to store the value of an input parameter. I have taken DisplayName as an example. Set the value of it as per the logic.

    Once you have the value in this variable, you could pass it to the desktop flow from the dynamic content window:

    You could have used compose action to store the value of input parameter. In the same way, set the values of all input parameter in the cloud flow & pass it to the desktop flow to perform the required task.

     

    If this helps & solves your problem, please remember to give a đź‘Ť and accept my solution as it will help others in the future.

     

    Thanks

    Hi, thank you for responding. Where do you find the dynamic content window to select the variables? I have created the input variables however I am not sure where to assign it.

    Hi @KarlS190 

     

    You need to first define the input parameters in desktop flow. Here is an example:

    To pass the values dynamically from cloud flow to desktop flow, you need to select the variables from the dynamic content window.

     

     

    If this helps & solves your problem, please remember to give a đź‘Ť and accept my solution as it will help others in the future.

     

    Thanks
