Dataverse Web API for creating Desktop Flows

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Priyaranjan KS _ Mi...

Hi All, 

 

I had been doing hands on with programmatically creating Cloud flows using the Web API listed here  and it works very well.

However, the similar Web API for Desktop flows have the capability to list desktop flow, trigger them etc. but do not have an option to create a desktop flow 

 

Is there anyone who has found a way to create Desktop flow using Web API programmatically or know of the roadmap for this Web API ? 

 

@JoeF-MSFT  Tagging Joe for a possible lead 🙂 

 

Thanks in Advance.

    You can use Invoke Web service activity available in PAD

    So, you can also do in Power Automate Desktop as well

     

    Mark as solution if this helps you

     

    Thanks,

    Thanks for the response Srini, Its not about invoking web service. the dataverse web api mentioned in this link, do not have an end point for creating a new desktop flow . It has options to trigger and get flow schemas. 

     

    I am trying to create a PAD from a .net application, so need to have an endpoint that i can call that will create desktop flows.
