Hello there, firstly, thank you for your amazing course !!!

Question : How can I schedule my flow to run on the 12th of every month? I set the Recurrence action with these parameters: Interval: 1 - Frequency: Month - Start time: 2024-07-12T10:00:00.000Z
Will my flow execute on 08/12, 09/12, and so on?

Please provide your insights.Thank you.

Anders, great video. Thoroughly enjoyed and learned from it. What I still haven't found out from watching many learning videos is that after the flow is run, how to configure it so it can automatically send an email to the team with testing results. Task scheduler only runs the flows but it won't send out email with testing results of flows. Also, is there a way to run flows in sequence? Hoping to hear from you, Anders. Thank you!

good tutorial, helps me a lot, thank you! One input, I need to hear the video multiple times, as your voice is up and down, sometimes cannot understand it.

[ivoradulovic]

Tnx. Another great tip from you Anders. 👍👍👍

Unfortunately looks like this feature requires premium license.

Hi Jensen, i used PAD created entire automate flow, now i want to using windows schdule task manager to run the flow, and i want to this flow can be run during lock screen mode, but it doesn't work. our flow refer to run SAP scripting \ excel marco\ and some mouse and keyboard operation. do you know which area affect the flow running when lock screen ?

[hisuomi]

Could you consider making a demo on the machine group?

[PaweW-tdwt]

Dear Andreas, thank you very much for the solution with Task Scheduler - some small companies do not want to pay 37 EUR for premium connectors. Can I have two suggestions? First, I'm so happy with this solution that I can pay a tip. Please, will you add this option to your video on YouTube? Second, it is high time to organize a "real" conference for members of the "I Love Automation" group...

Is there any way not to use the premium licensing to schedule the power automate desktop flow

[dereklauder]

Hi Anders, when i go to properties of my flow there is no run URL just date created and date modified?

[TheMuralipandu]

Is there any option we should see that scheduled flow is running or not if not running it should start again pl help me with step by step I am using power automate desktop version

[sobreewaesulong]

Hi! I found a problem when setting a schedule in the Windows task the Windows logout screen won't work, I must keep the screen login. Would you happen to have a solution to make it work? without having to keep the login. Thanks.

[yeuharng]

if i doing in remote desktop connection is that possible to use the second way?

[itvanphong]

Hi AD, Could you please help me how to bypass the pop-up "Run Flow an external source invoked flow. Continue "?

[qikbvhe]

@andersjensenorg I have the latest version of Power Automate Desktop Version: 2.41.170.24032. Unfortunately, In the flow property details, all that shows is date created and modified. so no link to copy. Is there another way to do this please?

[tharunreddy]

I dont see the option to click on flow properties and to copy the link for the flow

[mrwhammer]

so this works but it asks "run flow" an external source invoked flow... Continue? so that means task scheduler wont work

[omartaher]

Do I need a premium license to schedule it with Task Scheduler?
