Dear Experts

 

When I create a connection for Desktop flows in Power Automate , I receive the message on the screenshot. I would like to ask how I can create the connection successfully? And I have got the Power Automate premium license. Thanks in advance .

    Hi,
     
    Don't search for it using the search box, this is reserved for template searches and not specifically adding a desktop connection t to your flow.  To add a desktop flow from your cloud flow, add a new action, then click on desktop shown below.  If desktop is not one of the options, you can search for the action in the action search box (but not the top search field).

    Dear trice602 
     
    Thanks for your feedback. 
    When I use Desktop Flows Action in a Power Automate flow , I cannot find any value in Machine or machine group box.
