Technical requirements

In addition to Power Automate licensing, this chapter will use the following software and applications:

Power Automate Desktop
Power Automate WebDriver
Microsoft’s data gateway

In this chapter, we’ll be using the edition of Power Automate Desktop that ships with Windows 11. Power Automate Desktop is also available as a free download for Windows 10, which we’ll cover in the Configuring prerequisites section.

Microsoft’s data gateway, like Power Automate Desktop, is available at no charge from inside the Power Automate web portal. We’ll cover this as well in the Configuring prerequisites section later.

As a reminder, you’ll need a Power Automate per-user plan and the unattended RPA add-on.
