Hello!

What am trying is to run my desktop flows in the other machine via cloud flows. Flows which are independent can run successfully, but can we run a flow which is internally calling another desktop flow.

    You can use the below commands:

    Run Desktop flow: Use this command to run another desktop flow.

     

    Run Subflow: Utilize this command to initiate a subflow from the main flow.

    Hi, Thanks for your reply! But I do have a flow which is calling a desktop flow within, Now I want to run this flow via cloud in other machine. But its getting failed since its trying to call the flow which is dependent on other. So is there a way where we can run a flow from cloud which has multiple calls to other desktop flows?

    To gain clarity on your requirements, could you please provide additional details with some examples?

     

    Screenshots illustrating the context would be helpful. Additionally, sharing the complete error details would assist us in understanding the issue thoroughly and providing appropriate solutions.

    Hi sshirolkar,

    as far as I remember the same machine needs to be used for calling a Desktop flow out of a Desktop flow. You can‘t start a Desktop flow on a different machine from within a Desktop flow.
