Introduction to Power Automate for Desktop

Introduction to Power Automate for Desktop
Hey Everyone,
This is the beginning of many more videos to come about Power Automate Desktop (PAD) flows. Desktop flows broaden the existing robotic process automation (RPA) capabilities in Power Automate and enable you to automate all repetitive desktop processes. Automating is quicker and easier than ever with the new intuitive Power Automate desktop flow designer using the prebuilt drag-and-drop actions or recording your own desktop flows to run later.
The key items I'll be covering are:
1) Overview of Power Automate Desktop
2) Overview of attended and un-attended
3) Installation of the Power Automate Desktop for Windows 10
a. Console overview
b. Flow designer overview.
4) Creation of a simple attended Power Automate Desktop flow

Do we now have on premises data gateway concept

[@DanielChristian19]

The Power Automate for Desktop software has the gateway built into it. Also if you are interested in gateways then consider the next generation of gateways, AKA vNet, that are currently in preview. learn.microsoft.com/en-us/data-integration/vnet/data-gateway-power-platform-dataflows

If you have a process heavy system - it may be wise to look at simulations with more robust learning capabilities like Assima Solutions provides.
