Hi, We have a process developed in Winautomation already and we also have a backup of that process in the form of *.waj file. Is there a way to import the backup file from winautomation in to Power Automate Desktop , since all these features are there now in Power automate desktop. Thanks

    As far as I know from the roadmap of planned features, this is planned for March 2021.

    Thanks MichaelBoruta.

    Is there anywhere we can track the list upcoming features of power automate somewhere. Also is there any where to we can see the roadmap of planned features in future.

    Kindly let me know.

    I do not understand this at all.  This functionality should have existed on release.  Power Automate desktop is clearly a reskinned version of Winautomation.  The code was there already.  MS acquiring Softomotive has been a giant pain in the butt.

    @Sean_Martin you can still keep working with WinAutomation under the same PAD license. Import will come in Q1. So, currently the acquisition does not change a thing.

    The only bummer for me is that PAD cannot autologin to Windows, because I do not desire to pay $150 per month for a functionality that was with WinAutomation under basic license.

    So here we are almost at the end of April and this feature is still not implemented.  Since PAD is now free can we make WA free?  I have a pile of WAJ files that I cannot use because of this is ridiculousness.

     

    When will be able to import WAJ files into PAD?

    Thank you for pointing me to the migrator.

     

    The discovery that custom dialogs are not migrated pretty much breaks every process I need to import.

     

    The acquisition of Softomotive my MS has been a giant pain in my butt.
