More information

We are announcing new functionality to trigger desktop flows in a picture-in-picture window via the Power Automate console or cloud flow.

How does this affect me?
Users can trigger attended desktop flows in a picture-in-picture window through new options available in the Power Automate console. This enables users to work on their desktop undisturbed while the desktop flow runs in parallel within a virtual window that replicates their desktop.

Additionally, users can Trigger a desktop flow from a cloud flow in Picture-in-Picture by adding a new field and setting the Run Mode to Attended. You can set the Run Mode to Attended in the advanced parameters section under the action configuration pane of the Run a flow built with Power Automate for desktop cloud action.

What do I need to do to prepare?
Communicate as appropriate with your Power Automate admin and users.

This message is for awareness and no action is required.
