Open Outlook outgoing emails (created by third party program)

Posted on by Cryzle

Good Day,

I've created a flow which does all the steps for an invoicing process with another program.

It works perfectly besides following thing:

After i press the button in the external programm it starts to create an outlook Email with the invoice attached (takes around 5-15 seconds). I tried to use the function "Wait for window" and "Wait for window content" and but it seems not to work as the window id or something seems to be different each time.

I need to focus the Windows, extract a part from the subject line and then press the "Send" Button.

Any idea how i can make it work?

Hi,

Try focusing the window with send keys activities (Ctrl+A) and then the next actions? Curious if this will work.

You can modify the selector for the window to not use an exact match, but instead simply check if it contains some keywords.

Can you share what the selector looks like?

I only used "Windows class" in the selector which does the job for me. Gonna do the remaing steps with manually. Thanks
