I liked that you covered one of the common things to kill these automations - wait times - your presentation covered the process from start to finish

[@MarsorryIckuatuna]

Also, WOW! Learnt a lot from this simple example. Mind blown 🤯!

[@torbenchristiansen5411]

Hi Devin, It was very helpful! I did not know about the waiting process 🙂

[@Fitequip200]

Great video. Thanks. Looking forward to more.

[@marktheirl1842]

[@susierogerson]

Such a great video!

[@lorentzhow2942]

Great video - thanks!

very details thank you

Hi Devin... Thank you for the video with real time example. I would request you if you can show to open the SharePoint site and then create a new list, fill the inputs fields and then save using automatically using Power Automate Desktop.

Thank you, Devin, for this tutorial. I wasn't aware that there was such a thing as the Power Automate Desktop. I do have a question. The Cloud Flows have a maximum number of invocations you can do per month. Does the Power Automate Desktop have the same limitation?

[@garylhaas2005]

And now it is free for everybody

Wait is not a good option in this case because loading time can be easily changed due to many reasons, OCR is the best choice in here.

[@PeterPanQuails]

Thank you Devin. Can we trigger the start of the process by events like time of the day, rather than to have the user click the "Run" in Power Automate?

[@desktopdatacrunching4032]

You can but you would have to use a cloud flow that then later runs the desktop flow to do that.

[@susierogerson]

Would dual monitors impact the functionality of the automation?

[@desktopdatacrunching4032]

Hi Susie. No that wouldn't impact desktop automations!

[@susierogerson]

@@desktopdatacrunching4032 Thanks. I keep having issues with the proceeding past the "Wait for window content" steps. Any tips? Or do you have another video for troubleshooting?

[@sidcoolguy7]

can we do this on Uipath?

[@nathanhoover5156]

Certainly it can be done using others tools

[@MarsorryIckuatuna]

You can now throw that $40 /month price tag away, basically. Some connectors unfortunately still require it...
