    Hey @balupad141 

     

    No, there is no such Action like Pick and Pick Branch in Power Automate.

    You can use conditions, loops, and waits to achieve similar results.

    If my suggestion helps you, please gives a Thumbs up 👍 and Marks as a solution ✔️.

    Thanks,

    We have Switch -> Case

    Declare the variable you want to fork on in Switch, and then each "Case" acts like a separate IF statement for if the Switch matches the Case expression.

     

    Good luck!

    Can you explain what you are trying to do in your flow? Then it will be easier to help with your problem.

    As @Sayan said try using Conditionals to achieve the goal you would do in UiPath

    and @MichaelAnnis mentioned try using Switch -action with Case -actions in it like so:

    eetuRobo_0-1721112407913.png

    So in that example flow retrieves all emails from Inbox and loops through them. With the Switch/Case actions it checks the subject. If the emails subject contains "Invoice" it will do certain set of actions (now just one set variable for example). And if the subject contains "Sales Order" then it will do other set of actions. At the end there is Default case and actions inside that will be done if no other case was triggered (so the subject did not include "Invoice" or "Sales Order").
