Power Automate UI Flows - Creating a Virtual Machine To Run UI Flows

UI Flows manipulate the mouse and keyboard just as a human would, so they work best when they run on a dedicated machine. In this video I show you how to create and configure a Windows 10 computer for UI Flows so that you can test calling UI Flows from Power Automate flow.

In this video I show how to find the links for the Flow and Selenium extensions for Chrome, but their direct links are below:

Thanks, Phil! This helped me create the right kind of VM with RDP working. Then I still had a "502 Bad Gateway" error so wanted to share this link with the tip of editing the UI flow config file to work around an Azure AD bug:



My remaining issue is what to do about securely managing a login step as part of the UI Flow. I am having difficulties just with test credentials, and the production state will have users all sending files from SharePoint to "System X" where they will each need to log in or have been logged in under their own credentials. Any thoughts on managing this kind of login step?

No unlocked user sessions found on the target machine. Cannot execute attended desktop flow. The desktop flow running on the virtual machine gives me that error. I thought the whole point of this was to have a virtual machine running your flows in the background?

By the way, i need this gateway because i need to connect our team flow with a UI flow.

Which flow subscription do you need to do this?

Good video. However, for some reason, I thought we were going to create/set up a VM via UI Flows.

Maybe this month this problem was solved by Microsoft, does anybody knows if now is it working?
