Before we continue with the primary flow in the Power Automate portal, let's test the flow by temporarily assigning a default value to the variables that we defined earlier.

  1. In the Variables pane, select More (…) next to the AddressType variable name, and then select Edit.

If you run into an error as your flow is executed for this test run, observe the error status bar in the lower part of the Power Automate Desktop designer and apply the appropriate fix.

Important

Delete all default values before you leave the desktop flow authoring experience in Power Automate Desktop.
