We are announcing the ability to measure time and cost savings for desktop flows in Microsoft Power Automate. This feature will reach general availability on June 30, 2026.
How does this affect me?
This feature introduces built-in rules that calculate time and cost savings for desktop flows based on successful executions. You can define how long a task previously took when performed manually and let the platform compute time saved using flow run data. Cost savings can be estimated by applying hourly rates or custom monetary baselines that scale with execution volume. Savings accumulate automatically as flows run, making the impact of automation measurable over time.
What action do I need to take?
This message is for awareness, and no action is required.
