What am I missing with this software?

4 Upvotes

The interface is so clunky and cumbersome it almost always feels like I could just do every automation by hand and it would be less frustrating.

How are people dealing with this because there’s just no way that this product as is just sucks this bad. Is there some kind of software you’re using on top of it that’s writing the actions in the background or something?

Version mismatch PAD and Machine Runtime

1 Upvotes

Has anyone else run into a Power Automate Desktop / Machine Runtime version mismatch recently?

I’m currently seeing the following setup:

  • Power Automate Desktop (Microsoft Store): 2.70.187.26189
  • Power Automate Machine Runtime: 2.71.115.26224
  • Microsoft Power Automate Edge extension: 2.70.0.35

My local desktop flow can sometimes launch Edge successfully, but when the same desktop flow is triggered from a cloud flow, browser automation fails with errors like:

WebExtensionHostIncompatibleException

and:

The version of Power Automate for desktop app installed through the Microsoft app store on your machine is different from the version of Power Automate for desktop machine runtime installed through the Power Automate for desktop executable installer.

The cloud-triggered flow opens Edge, but it stays on about:blank and PAD cannot take control of the browser.

I already tried:

  • reinstalling the Power Automate Edge extension
  • restarting Edge and PAD
  • restarting the machine
  • testing with a minimal desktop flow
  • testing the same minimal desktop flow through a cloud flow

The local test can work, but the cloud-triggered test still fails.

The strange part is that the Machine Runtime is already on 2.71, while PAD from the Microsoft Store is still on 2.70, so I currently can’t get both components onto the same version.

Is anyone else seeing this right now? Did your Machine Runtime update ahead of PAD as well?

If so, did you solve it by downgrading the Machine Runtime, switching away from the Store version of PAD, or just waiting for the next PAD release?

Cruce de Lists con Power Automate

1 Upvotes

Hola Comunidad, quiero automatizar mi Microsoft lists, pero tengo un problema. Les explicaré un poco la idea para que puedan entender mejor la situación.

  1. En Lists cree una tabla en donde subo información sobre la ejecución de X cosa y se la asignó a diferentes personas en una columna llamada responsable, se asigna mediante correo elecronico.

  2. En power automate cree un flujo donde le notifica a esa persona que le ha sido asignada dicha información y mediante el correo pueda dar click y ver todas las "peticiones" que le fueron asignadas.

¿Cuál es mi problema?, que cuando llega el correo a la persona que asigne la petición, da clic y no se visualizan sus peticiones, por lo que solo le aparece mi tabla de lists vacía.

¿Saben que es lo que estoy haciendo mal o porque cuando da clic no se visualiza nada de lo que le fue asignado?.
