Hi ive recently installed and tried using power automate and was testing it out.

im trying to access a sharepoint link and its asking me log in via a pop up, my credentials are already on the fields i just need to click the sign in button. but the sign in button cannot be detected as a UI element to be recorded.

Re: Chrome Pop UP

Hi,

One old school work around is send keys - not recommened (if you are typing on the device) but a quick work around without external software.
In the example below i'm trying to export a share point list via the export to excel button on the web page. But it throws this popup ( js alert i think) an error message popup

in this case and so I just need to trap (ignore the error) press enter ( by sending the enter key).

If anyone know how to press these java script pop ups other than send keys woudl be great.

Re: Chrome Pop UP

This pop-up belongs to the browser UI, not the web page, so you need to use the regular UI automation actions.

Hi thanks for the reply

Im using the web automation click on web page. but it cant select that pop up itself.
ill try the inspect object to know the actual element itself

Re: Chrome Pop UP

Which action are you using?
Try to inspect the UI element:
