Learn to Create a Timer to Time Actions or Flows | Power Automate Desktop

Want to make a Timer in Power Automate Desktop (PAD)?! Then check out this new tutorial.

In this video, I'll be showing you how to create a timer to track the duration of actions, subflows, or the entire flow using DateTime variables to calculate it. This is a fantastic work-around for those who are looking to optimize their automations and get a better understanding of how long different parts of their flows are taking. I'll be using the example of writing to a file to demonstrate how you can not only track time but also log it, which is extremely useful for reviewing and improving your processes.

By the end of this video, you'll have a clear understanding of how to implement this in your own flows, making your automation efforts more efficient and effective. So, if you're interested in stepping up your Power Automate Desktop skills, make sure to watch this entire video.
