Power Automate Desktop tech specs

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by aqyx 16

Hi all,

 

Very excited about the new features in PA, but I can't see any tech specs for the desktop application on Docs. Is this available for reference? It'll be useful when building VMs for testing unattended automations and eventually when deploying the app.

Cheers

    I hope that's helpful!

    Hi @aqyx 

     

    Those heavily depend on the flows that you are going to run. A good rule of thumb is the following:

    If the machine resources are enough to perform the task manually, then they are also going to be enough for PAD to automate it.
