Hi, I need to install power automate desktop and run flows in a machine without internet connection. Is this possible?

How would the installation be done? When I open power automate desktop I need to log in, but as I don't have an internet connection I can't log in.

Thank you!

Power Automate Desktop requires an internet connection to function, as it continuously communicates with the Power Platform cloud in the background. Therefore, if the internet connection is lost, Power Automate Desktop will not operate.

For an instance, you are able to build a bot with Internet connection and later point of time if you don't have internet on your machine then you can consider hosted RPA license which comes with $215 per bot per month. Once you develop the bot you can take image of your machine image/use default image OS provided by Microsoft and create hosted machine and you can schedule or trigger them from cloud flow. Once your cloud flow is started running then it will work without require any internet connection from your end.

Hi @SergioGG !

Unfortunately, Power Automate Desktop requires an internet connection to function properly. This is because it needs to authenticate and connect to Microsoft services for various functionalities, including logging in and running flows.

Even if you're using the unattended run mode, the machine still needs to be connected to the internet at certain points.

If you do not want to keep your machine on at all times, you might want to consider hosting this on a virtual machine on some server or even buying a hosted RPA machine from Microsoft.

In taht case, could you tell me what connections and ports need to be allowed?

I tried to find this information in the oficial documentation, but I can't find it.

Thank you for your support!
