Posted on by zau73

I am trying to login to a portal, but the portal has a bug where if i login the first time using my username and password it will show login fail. So i have to enter my credentials again and login and do this steps multiple time until i can login. So i am trying to use PAD to do this where i want it to keep on trying to login until successful.

For example, this is my current flow:

i want it to go back to step 5 and try again if step 7 fails. How can i do this? Please advice. Thank you.

Most actions have "On error" option in them.

There is a toggle "Continue flow run" so the flow does not fail if error happens in that action. Then you can select Exception handling mode like "Go to label" (you first need to have a label added in the flow).

Add label just before the action 5

But I think your "Press button" -action wont fail since that's just a button that you press to login so it has not yet tried if the username/password is correct. I would add "Wait for web page content" -action to make sure the login was successful. And if that fails then On error goes to label (so back to populating the username/password). Remember to add Fail with timeout error and some amount of duration for it to wait before going to error.

Hi Paul,

As mentioned by eetuRobo, you can use label and go to actions to do the looping, so each time when the credentials login failed, and also you can do Retry policy from the action to check the item.

You can try with the following approach -

Step 1:

After launching the browser, we enter the username and password, and then press the Login button. Put these three actions inside a region and place a label over the region.

Step 2:

Use the "If Page Contains" action, and inside this action, use the UI element that should appear after a successful login. Inside the Else Condition use go to Label and Choose the Label that you marked above the Login Region.

Main Workflow:
