Using Power Automate Desktop and Creating Our First Flow
In the previous chapter, we saw how Power Automate Desktop (PAD) was born and how powerful the tool can be for automating repetitive tasks. In this chapter, we will take a detailed look into the following:
- What is necessary for installing PAD on a local machine
- How the application is built up
- How to create our first flow by using the built-in recorder
To use PAD effectively, a basic understanding of the application is essential, as we will spend most of our time on the very areas presented here. Also, knowledge of the PAD recorder will be extremely helpful throughout this book because it can also save us a lot of time when creating flows. Now, let’s look at how we can get PAD running on our computers.
