The ability to seamlessly integrate cloud flows (API-based automation) with desktop flows (Robotic Process Automation or RPA) is one of the major strengths of Power Automate.

You can choose from all kinds of triggers from the web portal, obtain data via cloud flows, and trigger desktop flows that automate tasks on your device with these data.

In this video, we'll show you how to integrate cloud flows and desktop flows. To better illustrate how, here's what we'll configure Power Automate to do:

Whenever a new response is submitted on Microsoft Forms, it'll trigger a desktop flow to write selected information to Excel.
