We are announcing the ability to launch interactive Power Apps directly from desktop flows within Power Automate. This feature will reach general availability on July 31, 2026.
How does this affect me?
With integrated Power Apps, makers can now use canvas apps to create modern, interactive form experiences for attended desktop flows.
Key functionality of this feature includes:
- Use canvas apps as the user interface for desktop flows: When the action runs, the selected canvas app opens on the user’s machine, providing a fully customizable UI built using the Power Apps designer.
- Pass inputs into the app: Desktop flows can send context, state, and values to prefill the app and guide user interaction.
- Capture outputs back into the flow: Data entered by the user in the app is returned to the desktop flow and can be used to drive subsequent automation steps.
- Trigger subflows from app events: App actions such as button clicks can invoke specific subflows, enabling event-driven patterns instead of strictly sequential execution.
- Works with all desktop flows: This capability is compatible with both Power Fx-enabled and non-Power Fx desktop flows.
- Reduce reliance on UI automation for form interaction: Instead of automating application UI to collect user input, makers can use structured data exchange between the flow and the app. This approach avoids selectors and screen scraping for form scenarios, improving reliability and resilience to UI changes.
This message is for awareness, and no action is required.
