what is the difference of flow and attended rpa?
I amcomparing 2 plans
1 Power Automate per user plan around $10
⇒this can make flow(official said this doesnt include rpa)
2 Power Automate per user plan with attened RPA
⇒this can make flow and rpa?
I am understanding difference of attended rpa and unattended one, but I dont get any idea of
diffrence of flow and attended rpa.
(you automate task using resource of your computer)
Would anyone explain difference from the perspective of function?
Hello @reo112
RPA consists of software robots or artificial intelligence workers, where as Flow is an online workflow service that enables you to work smarter and more efficiently by automating workflows across the most common apps and services.
RPA unattended is great for automating tasks that Flow does not have Connectors for. Since UI flows can automate tasks using a agent, sort of like a macro.
if what you want to automate is achievable in Flow regular license. Than stick with that.
RPA - Robotic Automation Process
PowerAutomate also provided the functionality "UI Flows". Using UI flows, we can automate some processes which involves legacy systems which does not have any APIs to interact with.
UI Flows works with attended or unattended way.
Based on my understanding, If you are not using UI flows, then normal flow license is good enough.
In general, take a flow license for a service account and create & publish the flows with the service a/c instead of taking licenses for all the users.
I hope that my reply may be helpful.
