Business value

Desktop flow makers can invoke a local attended desktop flow through a desktop shortcut, without going through the Power Automate for desktop console.

Feature details

For each desktop flow in the Power Automate for desktop console, makers can create a desktop shortcut through the More actions menu. Upon double-clicking the shortcut icon, the desktop flow will run in local attended mode. This feature is available to premium users that are already signed in to Power Automate for desktop.
