    Why don't you create a flow instead of Desktop Flow?

    If you are trying to make the Flow in PAD, you need to make the flow as always listening / running

    Instead of that you can use flow.microsoft.com and you can build your flow

     

    Thanks,

    Srini

    Hi @RamonaR122 , 

     

    I think you cannot trigger desktop flow directly when an email is received. But desktop flow can be triggered from cloud flow.

     

    So what you can do is Create a cloud flow when an email is received then add step to Run Desktop flow.

     

    Let me know if you have any queries. 

     

    If you like my response, please give it a Thumbs Up.
    If this helps, please Accept as solution.

     

    Regards

    Kaif
