Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

Hi,

Currently, I am working on a demo of my python script project and in a middle of trouble, the power automate desktop cannot run my script in powershell completely. I had checked my script in Windows Powershell and Windows Powershell ISE again, it ran correctly. While I am trying to use my script into PA the script error is:

Thank you in advance!

Building flows

Hi @Chinnapan,

Do you want to run the python script in Power Apps?

Could you please tell me that if you import it from a PCF?

If you use a PCF to run the python script within Power Apps, I am afraid it is a huge work load for you.

To achieve your need, I think you could check the following steps.

From a slider input in Power Apps save the datapoint to a SharePoint list (SPOL).
From Python on a Raspberry Pi connect to SPOL using the SharePlum library - alternatively, you can use Graph API as well.
Get the value from SPOL and send it to your controller.
Now if you want to run the Python code on your desktop, you could do what is called a "Desktop Flow" in Microsoft Power Automate. Once you have this flow recorded (it has a desktop recorder), you could combine it with an "instant flow" in Power Automate (this allows you to press a button in Power Apps) that would allow you to "initialize" the python code.
