Quick assist does not register any input from power automate

Posted on by poweredup 4

Whenever I try to send any key strokes or mouse clicks with power automate to a running instances of quick assist then quick assist just doesn't register it. I have also tried to use UI elements to click, but it just ends up with an error saying that it failed to get the window. How can I direct input to quick assist with power automate?

    Interacting with "Quick Assist" necessitates that Power Automate Desktop has elevated rights to engage with the target application.

     

    Read more for the below details:

    When you execute Power Automate Desktop in "Run as admin" mode and then use the recorder option for code entry, it should function properly. If it does not work, then repair your target selector and eliminate unnecessary details of the parent element.

    That is true. I eventually figured out that it was administrator rights messing around. I also can't launch power automate as administrator because the flow editor opens in a different window, that isn't elevated.
