This new flow is going to start on February 27th at 1130 at night, and it will repeat every night, moving forward until we tell it to stop. In this case, we’ll use it on a daily basis. We can also have the flow repeat every day, week, or month.

We’ll give this flow a name (Test123), starting date (2/27/22), and time (11:30PM). There will be a menu where we can choose from different types of flows: Automated cloud flow, Instant cloud flow, Scheduled cloud flow, Desktop flow, or a Business process flow.įor this example, we’re clicking on a scheduled cloud flow.

Let’s create another one of these cloud flows by going to the top button that says New flow. Creating A New Power Automate Desktop Flow In my case, most of these are triggering desktop flows. So this is what the main screen looks like once you actually have some cloud flows set up. I have them set up, but they’re not scheduled to run so I have them turned off. The grayed out clock icons are current flows that I don’t have turned on. On the Cloud flows tab, you can see the highlighted clock icon which lets us know that this is a scheduled flow. These refresh already have the updated data when they’re scheduled to run in the morning, These flows are downloading the data that I need to import into Power BI desktop.

In my situation, I schedule these desktop flows to run during the night so that when I wake up in the morning, I have the Power BI refresh schedule turned on. All About Cloud Flowsīut for today, I’m just going to concentrate on the cloud flows. If another user within your organization has shared a flow with you, it would appear in this tab. And then there’s another tab for Shared with me. There’s also a Desktop flows tab, and a Business process flows tab. Most of the flows under here are flows that I already set up that trigger or run those desktop flows on a schedule. Typically, most of Henry’s flows would be under cloud flows.

You can check out our Power Automate Masterclass course from our Enterprise DNA expert, Henry Habib, for more on this topic. There are four tabs at the top.Ĭloud flows could be any flow that we’ve created through. When we click on the My Flows link, this is what appears on the screen.
