Desktop Flow not showing in web

Posted on by AL_stp

I created a flow in PAD I'd like to schedule using a Cloud flow. However, my desktop flow does not show in the web version of Power Automate. I created the PAD flow with my work account, and I'm signed into the web version using my work account. How do I get the desktop flow to show up?

Make sure your web editor is in the default Environment. All Desktop Flows are stored in the default environment. Do any flows show up under the Desktop Flows tab in the My Flows view?

Hi @AL_stp

Check whether both environment are same or not in desktop and cloud as well.

I double checked the environments - they look to be the same. When I'm in PAD, the flow I created shows up in the My Flows view. The same flow does not show up in the web version, in the Desktop Flows tab.

I double checked and believe they're both in the same environment. However, my PAD doesn't actually show the environment - my view is not the same as yours. I don't actually see the environment listed in the gray bar.

If its not showing the environment and you have a Go Premium icon then its probably logged in with an Work or School account that doesn't have a per user license to Power Apps or a Per flow license. The office 365 seeded license isn't enough to call a Desktop flow. That requires a premium license of some kind.

Well darn, didn't realize I need another license to use it. Thank you for the information.

You don't need another license to use Desktop Flows. You do need another license to invoke a desktop flow from a cloud flow.

Hi All. I have a similar situ. We are changing Office accounts at work and I am trying to transfer my decktop fows to my new Office 365 account and do not have the option to forward or share:
If we Go Premium, will it allow me to transfer to new Office 365 account?
Cheers Mark

Going Premium won't change what account the Desktop flows are stored under. The only way to transfer desktop flows would be to open each account in separate web browser and copy and paste the contents of each desktop flow.
