I am currently working on creating a trigger that will run a desktop flow that, whenever a new row is added in a certain workqueue. Now, this workqueue can have multiple records and I want to allocate four different robot accounts running the same desktop flow. How can I achieve that or make the "Run A desktop flow" action dynamic based on available robot?
If that is not possible with Power Automate, is there an action that can check if a robot account is running a flow and maybe I can start from there?
Can you explain a little more about your flows and the setup.
-Is the run mode intended to be Unattended (flows run without user being signed in to the machine)?
-Do the flows need to run concurrently? Or can they run one after another?
-Is the machine Virtual machine or Windows Server or local PC?
If it's acceptable for the flows to run one after another, then you may not need four bots. A single bot running one after the other would be more cost-efficient and easier to manage. So just build the 4 cloud flows that start the separate PAD flows and if they all start at around same time then the other flows will wait in queue and start when running flow has finished.
If you are using virtual machine then you need 4 different virtual machines also since one machine can only run one login session at a time.
If you have Windows Server then I think you could do the 4 bots running concurrently (I have only ever used VMs myself so no first hand experience). And you don't need to allocate the bots since Power Automate will just use a bot that is available and automatically allocate it for its PAD flow run.
