RM573278Power Automate: Schedule desktop flows directly with Scheduled Triggers

Summary

Scheduled triggers enable makers to run desktop flows on a recurring schedule directly from the Power Automate automation center, eliminating the need to create and manage intermediary scheduled cloud flows. Users can configure daily, weekly, monthly, hourly, or custom recurrence patterns, select the execution machine or machine group, and monitor upcoming scheduled runs from a centralized experience. Scheduled Triggers simplify desktop automation management and provide a more intuitive scheduling experience for attended and unattended desktop flows.
