In that case the Power Automate Flows could be scheduled or automated without the need for a Premium Power Automate License, because the context of the premium Power Apps would be enough .
What?
As the deadline on Power Automate licensing enforcement is closing in on us, Microsoft fortunately created another way to associate a Flow within the context of aPower App. In the previous blog post Power Automate: Flows within context of Power Apps, I already explained the Power Shell way. This post is to explain the new in-product experience .
