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

so basically i wanted to open chrome go to a link and manage to do it on that part so far.

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.

THank you

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

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

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.
