Getting Started With Robotic Process Automation (RPA) Using Power Automate Desktop

In this video Devin covers the basics of what Robotic Process Automation is and how using Microsoft's Power Automate you can build Desktop Flows to automate tasks you previously thought could only be done by a human.

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

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

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

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?

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?

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.

Would dual monitors impact the functionality of the automation?

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