How to Run WinAutomation RPA from Power Automate

Posted on by

Hey everyone,

 

With the recent acquisition of Softomotive, you can now run WinAutomation scripts directly from Power Automate! Note: You will need to have WinAutomation installed and an environment setup to run UI flows.

Start by creating a new UI Flow. Once recording, open up the command prompt and type in the following:

%programfiles%\WinAutomation\WinAutomationController.exe" /start "{folder/process}"

 

Fill in the folder and process above with whichever WinAutomation process you are trying to run. Once the WinAutomation window in the bottom right of your screen launches, stop the recording. Finalize and test your Flow - you should see it launch a new Command Prompt, enter in the above command, and run your WinAutomation process!

 

If you want to try this outside of testing, you'll need to setup a Gateway and another Flow.

If you'd like some visuals to help guide you through this process, check out my article on Learn Power Automate: https://www.learnpowerautomate.com/how-to-use-winautomate-with-ui-flows/
