How could it go wrong sometimes? And how to address this issue? I'm so confused about what was happening behind the surface. The tricky part is sometimes it works, sometimes it fails with the error message pasted above. Because I've found that even at the time PAD is running, the auto-waked-up computer could still turn sleep after a short period of time (around 5-10 mins) of idling (notice: it's idling for no human interaction but PAD is still running). I trigger this flow by schedule it through Cloud Flow (PowerPlatform) and also Schedule (Win10) my computer to auto-wake-up so that when cloud flow is triggered, there is a correspondent machine to be called.įurthermore, to ensure the machine is always up to run during the whole process (around 15-25 mins), I made another Task Scheduler (Win10): run cmd then exit every 1 min to sort of keeping it awake. It stopped at the middle of the Desktop Flow with activated Excel and Chrome Browser left opened means it was running successfully at the beginning but something interrupted it in the middle of scrapping. Only the problem is more than often when I trigger it from cloud flow it failed with Error Details:ĭesktop flow execution failed.

I have a PAD flow that is created to scrape stock price through Yahoo Finance which works pretty well locally.
