Posted on by

Hi,

Below is the cloud flow, once receive specific email, then trigger the website link and code in the email. Then pass the link and code to desktop flow. In the desktop flow: open browser and access the link and input code to down file. But I don't know how to trigger desktop flow. What's Machine or Machine group?

    In PAD go to Settings > Machine settings and connect your machine. Then it will show up in your Desktop flows action in your cloud flow.

    The Power Automate machine runtime app is free of charge on its own. It is installed by default along with Power Automate Desktop. But you will only be able to use both cloud flows AND desktop flows together if you have a paid license that include them. You will need the MS Power Automate Per user plan with attended RPA ($40/month).
