Microsoft Power Automate (Legacy)

Add-on for enabling web automation. This web extension is compatible with Power Automate for desktop version 2.26 or earlier.

Microsoft Power Automate (Legacy) is a browser extension designed to automate manual web tasks such as scripting, data extraction, form filling, and testing. It works alongside the Power Automate desktop application (version 2.26 or earlier), converting user actions on web pages into automated flows using the built-in recorder utility. Users can easily automate repetitive processes by interacting naturally with web applications, while the extension captures and builds automation sequences.

Note that this legacy extension relies on Manifest V2 and supports only Power Automate desktop up to version 2.26. It will cease to function after official browser support ends for Manifest V2 extensions. Users should upgrade to Power Automate version 2.27 or later and install the new Microsoft Power Automate web extension to continue web automation seamlessly. For full functionality, ensure Power Automate is installed on your device before using this extension.

Pros
  • Works well with Power Automate Desktop for web form filling actions.
  • Functions well with simple, basic, and short automation flows.
  • Integration with the Power Automate Desktop app is generally positive.
Cons
  • Extension installs itself automatically or prompts installation without user consent, which is irritating to users.
  • The extension often fails to function properly, frequently not being detected by Power Automate and causing errors like 'Failed to assume control'.
  • Users experience consistent issues with the recorder not recognizing or capturing web elements correctly, leading to frustration.
  • Compatibility problems arise after recent updates (Windows 11, Power Automate), causing the extension to stop working.
  • Some users report confusion and distrust due to unexpected behavior and concerns about data privacy and third-party data transmission.

Extension safety

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Microsoft Power Automate (Legacy) requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.
