This is awesome news! Now the next Wishlist is that if could have been program into the cloud workflow as a Try Catch block. 😅 If fail > Run Self Repair > Select Apply for every run > Notify User that repair has been made.
I love your Power Automate Desktop content! You’re the best RPA teacher in my opinion. One question: Is there any opportunity that you could do some Power Automate Cloud videos as well? It’s a bit hard for me to get started, even though I’m not a beginner in Power Automate Desktop.
Many thanks, Justin 😍 Kind regards, Anders Ps. As you say, it has not been released yet, but I thought it was awesome Microsoft allowed me to show you (almost) everything today.
Awesome video as always! Your dedication in building two sample web pages to demonstrate self-healing selectors is truly commendable. I have a question: how many attended desktop bots can we schedule using a cloud flow within the Premium Plan/license?
@@andersjensenorg we can schedule as many but can run only one per license.. Can you elaborate.. Suppose I have schedule 10 different power automate desktop from cloud flow as attended at different time then at a time only one will run or only one from 10 will run
Great video! Does the self-repairing option work unattended? For instance if that workflow is run unattended you do not want to "manually" repair the selector but let the self-healing tool find it by itself autonomously
Hey, Andoni, this is an "early access private preview" version provided by Microsoft. I don't know how it will work with the unattended flows, but I'm sure we can also include a human-in-the-loop here. Kind regards, Anders
Looks awesome, thanks for sharing Anders! My immediate reaction when watching the video was if this could be used for end-to-end-testing or even integration-testing in a development scenario. It seems like a really good fit, but I’m also sceptic as this is not the main «purpose» of Power Automate. What do you think Anders?
@@andersjensenorg Yeah these are all common tools for testing purposes, but as far as I know none of them have the AI capabilities you demonstrated in the video. Also, instead of programming all the tests you may write them in plain language which might serve as some form of documentation as well. This opens up the possibility for none developers to produce these tests. And especially for E2E-tests I think the autorepair functionality would be really useful for rapidly changing UI's.
Mr. Anders Jensen, could you explain, in detail, how to execute a flow built with the Power Automate Desktop application? What licenses are required? Grateful!
Hey Jerry, you can either manually execute it from the PAD overview or schedule it from Power Automate cloud (this require a premium license). Kind regards, Anders
how do you think these ai updates impact rpa developers? is it a positive thing where it assists them reach new levels or does it force them out over time?
Negative: Less demand, because non-developers can easier automate. Positive: Higher demand, because many companies want to implement it. Total: Net positive. But that's just my personal opinion. Kind regards, Anders
Hello sir, Can you guide me about how to use Desktop flow in Copilot Studio Chatbot. This will make it easier to trigger Desktop flow through Chatbot itself. There is a connector available. Please guide me
Hi, Microsoft CSA here! You can call Power Automate cloud flows from Copilot Studio and have that cloud flow be the invoker of a Desktop Flow. I'd recommend running those PAD flows on unattended mode though and have a dedicated machine for them. You wouldn't want your Copilot users to be triggering a locally-run desktop flow
To activate Copilot, you need a US environment (it will come to all other regions "soon"). To activate the AI recorder, you need an early access version from Microsoft (it will come to all regions "soon"). Kind regards, Anders
I agree. This is NOT great news for the lazy devs. But it will be a HUGE window of opportunity for the devs that learn this. "AI is not taking your job, but a person who can use AI will". Kind regards, Anders
