Hello,
I am trying to automate a login process to a website as well as the process to extract information. However I keep getting the error message: "form field with selector 'input[Id="cwsUID89517"]' not found."
I was wondering how I would fix this error. The login page has two separate web pages. The first one is the username where you have to click log in to go to the password page and hit log in again to get into the site.
Another issue is that the username field may or may not be automatically be populated depending on user which further complicates things.
This is my work flow so far. It does not include the data extraction process, just outlines the login process except the UI elements are not found.
It seems like the ID of the field may be dynamic - it may change upon refreshing the page / opening a new instance.
You may need to modify the selector. See here for reference on how to do it: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/desktop-flows/build-custom-selectors
