    Hi @TG11 

     

    The error message happens because there is no Browser extension that is required running UI Flow.

    Please refer to the following document and download/install the Browser extension:

     

    1. Activate the UI Flows browser extension

    2. Install Selenium IDE to automate Web applications


    =================================

    1) Activate the UI flows browser extension

    Once the UI flows installer completes, you will be prompted by your browser to activate the extension.

    • On Microsoft Edge (version 80 or later), select each warning icon in the top right of the browser, and then select Enable extension.
    • On Google Chrome, select Enable extension when prompted.

     

    Tip

    If you did not see the prompt in your browser, please check the following:

    • You must use Microsoft Edge (version 80 or later) or Google Chrome.
    • You may have to manually enable the extension. For Microsoft Edge, navigate to edge://extensions or for Google Chrome, navigate to chrome://extensions.
    • If Power Automate's UI flows extension does not appear, you can reinstall it with the UI flows installer.

     

    2) Install Selenium IDE to automate Web applications

    The Selenium IDE is an open source tool that lets you record and playback human interactions on Websites.

    With UI flows, you can run Selenium IDE scripts from Power Automate and keep them stored securely (with appropriate IT governance) in Common Data Service.

    Follow these steps to install Selenium IDE:

    1. Download and install the Selenium IDE for Microsoft Edge (version 80 or later) or Google Chrome.

    2. On Microsoft Edge (version 80 or later), select Allow extensions from other stores, and then select Add to Chrome.

    Hi @TG11 ,

     

    The issue happens due to the following reasons:

     

    1. Activate the UI flows browser extension

    2. Install Selenium IDE to automate Web applications

     

    The both steps are required after installing UI Flow application on your device. Here are the steps to perform:

     

    ============================================

    1. Activate the UI flows browser extension

     

    Once the UI flows installer completes, you will be prompted by your browser to activate the extension.

    • On Microsoft Edge (version 80 or later), select each warning icon in the top right of the browser, and then select Enable extension.
    • On Google Chrome, select Enable extension when prompted.

     

    If you did not see the prompt in your browser, please check the following:

    • You must use Microsoft Edge (version 80 or later) or Google Chrome.
    • You may have to manually enable the extension. For Microsoft Edge, navigate to edge://extensions or for Google Chrome, navigate to chrome://extensions.
    • If Power Automate's UI flows extension does not appear, you can reinstall it with the UI flows installer.

     

    2. Install Selenium IDE to automate Web applications

     

    The Selenium IDE is an open source tool that lets you record and playback human interactions on Websites.

    With UI flows, you can run Selenium IDE scripts from Power Automate and keep them stored securely (with appropriate IT governance) in Common Data Service.

    Follow these steps to install Selenium IDE:
