When I run my desktop flow of my flow page the input variable shows in the flow inputs popup how do I stop this popup, Because I need to trigger my flow through task scheduler.

    Actually you can’t start desktop flows with parameters from task scheduler or command line without that behavior as far as I know. Perhaps a scheduled Power Automate flow that starts the desktop flow is a solution for you, but this requires a premium license.

    Yes, I have premium version and the scheduling part is not a problem, I schedule my flow to run at midnight, but the flow inputs popup appear the flow does not run unless we click ok button in the popup so please share how to stop the flow inputs popup in power automate.

    How do you do the scheduling? With Windows task scheduler or via Power Automate Cloud flow?

    If you use the Cloud flow action then you pass the input variables already there and the window doesn’t appear.

    The reason you get this pop-up is because you have input variables added to your flow. If you don't need to provide inputs, remove the input variables, and the pop-up will not appear anymore.

    Input variables are normally visible here:

    You can just right-click it and delete it.

    I can't delete the input variables in my flow because it is mandatory for my power automate flow, Please share if any other ways to do.

    If you want to run your flow from a cloud flow, but your machine is not joined to a domain or an Azure AD, use the user name and password connection method instead:

    If you start a command prompt and type 'whoami' it will tell you the userid portion of the login. 

     

    Since your desktop isn't part of a domain the login is the computer name followed by your userid.

     

    There is no alternative way currently to pass input variables to a cloud flow by using the Windows Task Scheduler as far as I know. If you absolutely need input variables, you will need to schedule your flow via cloud flows.

    Hi MathanKumar1,

     with the latest December release of Power Automate Desktop you can provide the input variables (text, number or boolean) in the Run URL 🙂

     

    Add flow input variables to a run URL

    Yes I have the same question.
    Even if I pass the values as the parameters of command, it still pops up. 
    So is turning all those i/o variables into flow variables the only option?
