What is the purpose of using UI flows in Power Automate?

Using UI flows in Power Automate primarily serves the purpose of automating repetitive tasks by interacting directly with user interfaces of applications, especially those that are legacy or do not have APIs. This capability is crucial for businesses that rely on older systems where automation cannot be achieved through conventional APIs due to a lack of integration options.

UI flows allow users to record and playback actions taken on the screen, enabling automation of tasks such as data entry, report generation, or clicking through forms. This interaction mimics human behavior, making it a powerful tool for automating workflows in scenarios where automated systems cannot be directly integrated.

The other options do not accurately represent the primary function of UI flows. Managing user permissions and roles pertains to security and access management rather than task automation. Batch processing large sets of data often involves data manipulation and aggregation, typically handled by other types of workflows or batch processing tools, not UI flows. Enhancing the visual design of workflows relates more to the aesthetics and user experience of building automated processes rather than the core functionality of UI flows.
