Suggested Answer:

Box 1: Attended desktop flow -
Desktop flows are used to automate tasks on the Web or the desktop.
To run an attended desktop flow, you need to have an active Windows user session that matches the name of the user configured for your connection.
Note: Web applications are critical components of most organizations, and they are commonly used to access data from servers.
Most CRM and ERP platforms run through web browsers, while the most popular business productivity tools are web services. Web applications are unquestionably an integral part of the technological infrastructure of most companies.
To provide automation solutions for these applications, Power Automate Desktop supports all major browsers through its web automation actions.
Box 2: Unattended desktop flow.
Unattended desktop flows are best for applications that do not need human supervision.

1) scheduled workflow -> no requirement seen of desktop (attended or unattended) GPT outlines: Since this process involves a web interface and possibly integration with email or a notification system for the supervisor, a cloud-based solution is ideal. It does not require a desktop presence and can operate entirely within the cloud environment: 'Enter' leave requests means the user saves them and most probably navigates away. 2) Unattended desktop flow 'into thrid-party DESKTOP application (but it says nothing about user intervention required). but maybe you could say you run the desktop application and a background scheduled cloud flow would be able to fill the fields in e.g. data verse without the screens on...??

1) just thinking as the question is unclear. Assume Crapy Processes LTD tells their users to enter their absences into a website (legacy?). They do so. In the website the user have a list of their absences. The users log off and do their important work, e.g. powerpoint slides to entertain management. In the evening, the company tells the users to attend at 16:50 on the machine where an attended desktop flow starts. The flow navigates to the website and the user is required to enter his username and password. That's why it is attended. From now on the desktop flow takes over again and navigates to the list of absences. It picks the list FROM the WEB BROWSER and sends the information to the supervisor. The supervisor has some other crapy process to approve or reject the leave request (e.g. by old fashioned internal paper mail as this approval process part is not part of the automation).

in this scenario, there is no data verse table upon which you run a scheduled cloud flow from the data the 'Employee "enter" leave request". They could use excel instead, or word, even txt.

yes if you have a very primitive website that does not store the leave request in a database and management uses for each employee the list shown in his browser page :-(. attended desktop flow. but my examination for using power automate would rather recommend storing the leave request in a database and use scheduled cloud flows.

The good idea for the first one would be to trigger the flow directly from the data when inserted within the web form but as the the proposition is Use web automation do collect data from the web browser and send the information ...that would be an attended flow, so: 1) attended desktop flow 2) unattended desktop flow

The question should probably be rephrased to: "[..] To collect the data -the user enters- from the web browser [..]". Then 1) Attended -does- make sense.

I don't think scheduled cloud flow is right as the questions states they want to use Web Automation.

For first case Unattended Desktop Flow would also work. So it's unclear to me why the answer is Attended Desktop Flow. Actually, Unattended Desktop Flow is what I would choose in real life implementation. It would be more user friendly, as wit Attended one I could imagine process would look like the following: - User enters data into website - User runs attended flow which copies data from website into Outlook and sends e-mail from user's computer With Unattended one user would just have to fill in form on website and that's it. Manager's notification part would happen on some other machine.

I agree, both are unattended, it's more practical that way https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/guidance/planning/attended-unattended
