Message ID: MC1044508
We are announcing the Repair flow automation errors feature for Power Automate. This feature uses Copilot to find and repair automation errors by identifying the required UI elements on the screen. This feature will reach general availability on April 30, 2025.
How does this affect me?
Once allowed, this feature uses Copilot to locate elements on the screen at the execution time. The repaired selector is used in future executions.
- Self-healing refers to the case that a UI element cannot be found at the execution time.
- Self-healing can be applied only for UI and web automation scenarios, and subsequently for desktop and web UI elements.
- With self-healing, Power Automate for desktop can detect UI elements on the screen.
- When a UI element and its selector are retrieved, the user must confirm to heal and save.
- This feature can be disabled by the user.
What action do I need to take?

The announcement of the “Repair flow automation errors” feature for Power Automate is indeed a game-changer for both admins and users! Picture this: no more frantic troubleshooting sessions when automation flows throw a tantrum because they can’t find a UI element. Instead, with the help of Copilot, these flows will be able to self-heal, identifying and repairing errors on the fly. It’s like having a personal mechanic for your automation processes—only without the oily hands!
For admins, this update means a reduction in the time spent fixing automation errors, allowing them to focus on more strategic initiatives. The self-healing functionality, specifically for UI and web automation, will streamline operations and enhance productivity. Admins can finally breathe a sigh of relief knowing that their automations have a safety net, potentially leading to fewer support tickets and a happier team overall.
Users, on the other hand, will benefit from a more seamless experience. The ability to confirm and save repaired selectors ensures that users remain in control of their automation flows. Plus, the option to disable the feature if needed adds an extra layer of comfort. It’s like having a safety harness while riding a roller coaster—you can enjoy the thrill without the fear of falling off!
