Power Automate Desktop Example - Downloading Image From Email To Network Drive
After watching the RPA (Robotic Process Automation) demo from Steve Winward Real-Life Use case using AI Builder Form Processing with Power Automate Desktop I have been looking for ways to utilize Power Automate Desktop Flows in order to make my life a little easier. Yesterday like every day I started clicking through the emails that I receive from my kids schools. I open each email, download the image, then move the image to a network drive on my computer. This takes me a few minutes every day but my kids are worth it :) This scenario was a perfect one for me to automate using Desktop Flows since they can access the network drive on my desktop.
