Direct shortcut to flow on my desktop

Hi,

I'm looking for a solution on how to create a direct shortcut to the flow on desktop. (If it's possible at all)
I need to run the flow without starting the Power Automate Desktop application.

The issue is scheduling the flow to run automatically, but WITHOUT connecting app to the cloud version or using Task Scheduler.
Unfortunately, both solutions are blocked for me.

Have you any idea how to solved this?

Thanks in advance

Can you kick it off via command line, and you can just put the command line into a .bat file to put on your desktop. When you run (doubleclick) a .bat, it automatically runs the command line which should automatically run the flow.

You can create a desktop shortcut via a right click on any of the Flows displayed on the main console.

But for scheduling it MSFT has made it a premium version.

You also need the premium version to create a desktop shortcut via right click in the main console
Create desktop shortcut is a premium feature

That's right, as per the official documentation Create shortcut is a premium feature.

And it's strange that I do not have a premium account and still able to create the shortcut.

I'm on 2.27.

Bug?! 🤔
