WHAT
Power Automate Desktop and RPA in general has a bad reputation for being unreliable and prone to failure. But it doesn’t have to be that way!In this session, we’ll dive into the best practices for crafting desktop flows that are not only reliable and efficient but also reusable and scalable. You’ll learn how to implement error handling, logging, external configurations, and process work items with confidence. We’ll also explore a proven template for custom flows and subflows to give your projects a head start.
WHY
Too often, desktop flows are dismissed as unstable or fragile when the real issue is a lack of understanding of the platform’s full capabilities. Power Automate Desktop does in fact offer a spectrum of powerful features for error handling, logging, retrying, etc., but they are not enforced or even offered by default, and require developer knowledge and effort to build them into flows. As such, many developers, especially coming from non-IT backgrounds, remain unfamiliar with how to leverage these capabilities effectively.By mastering these techniques, you can unlock the true potential of Power Automate Desktop to deliver high-quality, enterprise-ready RPA solutions. This session is perfect for intermediate to advanced developers who are ready to level up their skills and move beyond basic automation.
HOW
This fast-paced, 60-minute session combines a brief overview with action-packed demos. I’ll quickly cover the fundamentals via a handful of slides, then jump straight into live demonstrations, showcasing how to implement robust features step by step. Expect real-world scenarios, expert tips, and plenty of practical takeaways.
