Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

I have a power automate desktop flow that does browser automation on edge. I want to run it 24/7 using an unattended bot. I am buying the "Power Automate Process" plan for $150.
My question is if I buy this can I run my unattended bot without the internet and without keeping my laptop on 24/7?

Power Automate Desktop

No. Power Automate Desktop requires your machine to be connected to the internet. Regardless of the license you use, you will need internet connectivity for it to run. The machine will also need to be on. The unattended run mode will simply mean that the flow will login to your machine when it needs to run, but it will need to be turned on.

If you do not want to keep your machine on at all times, you might want to consider hosting this on a virtual machine on some server or even buying a hosted RPA machine from Microsoft.
