Hi!

I got a problem when trying to connect to microsoft desktop flow i get this error: Does anyone know why?

But i dont know if this has anything to do with it, or is it because i already made a connection?

Ive tried to add connection in another enviroment and still same error.

This is the main problem:

when trying to call desktop flow from PVA: it cant find my machine, even though its registred in the flow website.

This is in the flow website, my computer is installed.

Do i need to add my machine in the PVA also? and if so how do i do it?

Thanks for any insight!

Did you install an on-premises gateway? That's a requirement if you want to be able to call the desktop flow from a regular flow. Its also required if you want to start Power Automate Desktop from the Power Automate website. Check this article an verify that you have all the prerequisites.

Hi @Pstork1 thanks for a quick reply.

I didnt install gateway but i did install or add my machines. Im able to schedule a flow built with PAD and its working fine.

But when i tried to call a PAD flow from PVA it didnt recognise my machine.

Does the PVA (call action and launch PAD) only works with gateway installed? because i didnt see my machine. but it works with schedule triggers and works fine.

You can run flows from the Power Automate Desktop locally on your workstation without a gateway. But a gateway is required if you want to either create a desktop flow from the regular Power Automate website or start a desktop flow using a Power Automate flow. See Prerequisite below.
