Power Automate Desktop Variables

This is a continuation of my Power Automate for desktop series. In this video, we will focus on both the input/out variables and the flow variables.

Variables is one of the important features in building workflows because it

gives you the flexibility to reuse information across multiple actions and

conditions or even sub-flows. This this video we will take a closer look at the variables options available in Power Automate for desktop. While we may not be able to take a look at all the variables, we will take a look at the variable types, how to create and edit variables and look at the variables pane on the right.
