Not sure how to start? Tell me what you're trying to get done and I'll help you turn it into a clear request. Goal: Build this Power Automate Desktop flow for me on my computer. Quick check first: What should the flow do, step by step? What I need from you: - A description of what the flow should do - Power Automate Desktop open on your computer Rules: - Only use actions that actually exist in Power Automate Desktop. - If something is missing or unclear, ask me instead of guessing. - Don't run the flow on real data until I've checked it. Output: A working flow in Power Automate Desktop plus a short explanation of each step. If any of this is unclear, tell me what you have and I'll help fill the gaps. You'll know it worked when: the flow runs and does what you described.
