Extract info from an internal app automatically

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by mip09 70

My company has an internal app that wants me to extract the excel files daily automatically. 

The app has an option to "extract" however it is not automatically. Do you know if power automate works with apps that companies create? If yes, how?

 

Thank you!!

    Hi @mip09 

     

    If you are looking for downloading the excel file from a button click on an app, then you need to develop Power automate desktop flow.

    Introduction to desktop flows - Power Automate | Microsoft Learn

     

    If this helps & solves your problem, please remember to give a 👍 and accept my solution as it will help others in the future.

     

    Thanks

    That is exactly what I am trying to do! I need to do it daily, automatically at the end of the day. Do you think that is possible?

    Yes, it is possible, but you need to develop desktop flow to achieve this. It is not possible using cloud flow.

     

    Thanks

    Do you know if there is any tutorial that I should follow in order to do it?
