✅Scheduled Flow with Task Scheduler

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 27

I tried to run my flow using task scheduler, I want to set the flow to run every day in 9.00 am. But, after setting the task its not running according to the time I set before. Its just running when I click run the task in task scheduler. Does anybody know how to fix this?

    Could you please verify if you have set up your task scheduler according to the instructions provided in the Jensen video?"

     

    Use Power Automate Desktop and Task Scheduler Together (youtube.com)

     

    Additionally, please ensure to review the history tab to confirm if the tasks have been scheduled properly and to check details such as the next run time.

    While debugging, adjust your timing to shorter intervals and observe if it triggers your flow correctly. Additionally, consider using testing flows with simple display message comments to ensure everything is functioning properly.

     

    While invoking PAD flows from the Task Scheduler, please ensure that you check for any pop-ups like the one below, as it may block the flow from running.

    Instead of clicking allow each time, please uncheck the "Display confirmation dialog when invoking flows externally" and click save on settings screen.

    Is your task actually scheduled? Can you share a screenshot?

    Also, is the machine on and signed into and unlocked when it should run?

    Yes, I have followed all the instructions from Andres Jensen's video. But my flow still can't run according to schedule.

    @Agnius I tried it again today, I saw that the next runtime was 08.05 but the flow was still not running at that hour. I set the flow running time to every 1 hour

    I just realized that there is a task setting that starts when the computer is on AC power so that my task can only run when I charge the laptop. I need to uncheck that section so that my tasks can run without having to wait for the laptop to charge
