Think of Power Automate Desktop as an advanced version of Macros that comes with a drag and drop interface, making it easier to create workflows consisting of multiple actions, each leading to the next one. Macros are a set of instructions bundled together into a single instruction that expands when initiated to perform a particular task. Microsoft first created Macros that users could use, for example, to open a specific app using a combination of keys. Power Automate Desktop is Microsoft’s take for Windows and the larger Microsoft ecosystem and incorporates many third-party apps and services. These are automation tools that connect web and mobile apps to create complex workflows consisting of tasks that execute when certain preset conditions are met. Have you ever used IFTTT or Zapier before? If you have, then you already know what to expect from Power Automate Desktop. The result is Power Automate Desktop, but what is it? Microsoft acquired Softomotive last year and has been working on integrating it with their ecosystem ever since.
