Business value

Templates in Power Automate for desktop help you build automations faster, reduce errors, and ensure consistency. Organizations can standardize processes, foster collaboration, and scale best practices.

Feature details

Power Automate for desktop now supports templates, letting you start automation projects faster with prebuilt, best-practice flow structures.

You can choose from several out-of-the-box templates, including:

  • Generic business process
  • Basic exception handling with try/catch logic
  • Work queue item producer and consumer templates
  • Generic logging frameworks

Templates are accessible directly from the Power Automate for desktop console. When creating a new flow, you can start from scratch or use a template. You can also import templates into existing flows from within the designer.

Organizations can create and centrally distribute custom templates to align with internal standards, speed up development, and improve quality.
