Hi everyone,

I have two graphs on a webpage — one shows a line, and the other is blank. I want Power Automate Desktop to detect when the graph is blank and send me a message.
I tried using the "If Image" action by uploading a blank graph screenshot, but it’s not working reliably.

Is there a better way or action I can use to detect if the graph is blank?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @CU12050101-0,

Try this one.

Use "Get Details of Element on Web Page" + Inner Text Check
If the graph area is a web element (like a <div> or <canvas>), try this:

Use "Get details of element on web page" to extract the innerText, innerHTML, or outerHTML of the graph container.

Check if the text or HTML content indicates it's blank (e.g., empty or no data points).

(Note:- if you got your solution you can mark as solution and gives kudos)

Thanks & Regards
Vishnu Reddy

Thanks for the suggestion!

I tried using "Get details of element on web page" and changed the attribute name to innerText, innerHTML, and outerHTML, but the result is always blank — whether the graph shows lines or is empty. So unfortunately, I can’t detect the difference this way.

Do you know any other method or property I could check to detect if the graph is blank?
