Posted on by 14

I have the power automate on my desktop and don’t need it online. I have a flow,(task)  I created and runs fine but I have to invoke  or start it manually, yes I know I can do it online in the portal but Im not a premium member , IS there a way to trigger the flow (task) or flow on my desktop computer some other way like an auto clicker or similar when the computer is idle for like 10 minutes?
