Chapitres :
-
Introduction to Power Automate Desktop
Power Automate Desktop expands your automation possibilities by allowing you to automate both web and desktop applications directly on your workstation. This tool features a different interface and specifics compared to Power Automate for Microsoft 365, enabling users to automate clicks, data entry, application launches, and even perform OCR analysis. -
Installing Power Automate Desktop
To begin using Power Automate Desktop, you need to install the desktop application. There are two primary methods for installation: 1. **Microsoft Store**: Search for 'Power Automate' in the Microsoft Store and download the application. 2. **Power Automate Web App**: Log into your Microsoft 365 account, navigate to the Power Automate web app, and under the 'Create' menu, you will find a direct download link by clicking the 'Install' button at the top right. After installation, you may be prompted to install a browser extension if you wish to automate web flows. Restart your computer to access Power Automate. -
Launching and Navigating the Application
Once installed, you can launch the application or initiate a desktop flow from Power Automate online. This action opens the desktop version and prompts you to name your flow. You will then see a blank canvas in a dedicated window in front of the main application window. To record actions, you can drag and drop actions from the left column or trigger an action recording. -
Preparing Your Automation
It is crucial to prepare your automation in advance by clarifying the flow's objective and the steps to include. In the main window of the desktop application, you will find a home page featuring an introductory video and a guided tour of the environment, as well as the option to create a flow via the canvas. If you are not comfortable creating flows from scratch, consider using predefined flows, which are excellent for discovering the capabilities of desktop flows. -
Accessing Resources and Community Support
Scrolling down the home page, you will find access to tutorials, links to documentation, the community forum, and a list of new features. Your flow list will be available under 'My Flows'. Note that managing sharing and collaboration is subject to a license, which may limit your capabilities compared to the classic version of Power Automate. Additionally, a library of complete and predefined examples categorized by themes is available, perfect for getting started with desktop flows. -
Conclusion
You are now ready to begin automating local actions on your user workstation using Power Automate Desktop. This tool provides a robust platform for enhancing productivity through automation, making it easier to manage repetitive tasks efficiently.
