Power Automate, with UI Flows, allows anyone to create Robotic Process Automation (RPA) that can replay UI interactions with Web and desktop applications.
We recently announced a new preview feature to record and play back automations on Remote Desktop sessions without the need to install additional software on the remote computer.
We are happy to announce that Citrix Workspace users can now test in Public Preview our new feature which will allow you to record and playback actions from your Citrix remote applications and desktop.
This system is only for authorized use. Using this system means all of your activity and communications on it, including electronic mail and Internet use, may be monitored, recorded and disclosed subject to applicable law and the Company computer usage and security policy.
Rather than just a remote connection, Citrix allows remote access to a virtual desktop that’s being hosted on a corporate server. This means the user will utilize the virtual machine’s dedicated resources, and they’ll simply be able to see this virtual desktop on their device.

ChromeOS: On ChromeOS there are two ways of switching between applications/windows within a Citrix Desktop Session, see below.
Since UI flows recorder cannot access the logical elements on Citrix during the recording, UI flows uses custom Azure AI technology (image recognition and text extraction from images using Tesseract OCR) to make automation possible.
