| Name | Importance | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Block Input | Low | Power Automate This function is used to disable keyboard and mouse operations from outside of Desktop. It is used to prevent users from interrupting the flow of keystrokes and clicks. However, it requires administrator privileges to use the action and is not easy to use. Whenever possible, use a flow that does not require blocking, or do not perform any operations while the flow is executing. |
| Get mouse position | Middle | Get the current position (X, Y) of the mouse cursor. |
| Mouse move | High | Move the mouse cursor by specifying the position (X, Y). |
| Move mouse to image | Middle | The action is to find the specified image and move the mouse to that location. Optionally, it can also be made to click. This action is useful when the "Mouse move" action does not work well. |
| Move mouse to text on screen (OCR) | High | The action is to find the specified text and move the mouse to that location. You can optionally make it click. This action is useful when the "Mouse move" action does not work well. |
| Send Mouse Click | High | Click the specified location. |
| Send Keys | High | Keyboard input to the object currently in focus. |
| Press/release key | High | Press or release the modifier key (Ctrl, Alt, Shift, Win). Used in combination with "Send Keys" and "Send Mouse Click". |
| Set key state | High | Changes the state (ON/OFF) of keys (CapsLock, NumLock, ScrollLock). |
| Wait for mouse | Middle | An action that waits for the flow to be conditioned on the mouse returning to a specified state or vice versa. This action may be used when waiting for the application to complete processing (the icon returns from the waiting state) or when waiting for the user to move the mouse to a place where text can be input. The case of using this action may be considered. |
