Call desktop flow from cloud flow

(0) Share

Posted on by paul_matthews

I hope you can point me in right direction.

I have created a desktop flow using Selenium IDE and am trying to call it from a cloud flow. All the documentation I can find is pointing towards an action called "Run a UI flow for web" however this does not seem to be available for me.

The action that is available to me is "Run a flow built with Selenium IDE". However the parameters for this action seem to be pointing to a desktop flow and not a web. For example it is asking for the data-gateway which I do not have.

The previous "Run a UI flow for web" action just asked for the name of the UI Flow.

Could someone please let me know if I am missing something here.

thanks

Paul

Hi @Ahammad_Riyaz

Thanks for your response. I didn't think I needed to install the gateway as I was not connecting to an on premise system, and the MS documentation that I read did not mention this.

I will give this a go and let you know how I get on.

thanks
Paul
