Power automate to click 1 of the many hyperlink

Posted on by DanielRaj

I am using Power automate desktop to achieve below task.

In a web page click on a hyper link named "System" Which is at the bottom of the web page.

Twist is there is another hyper link with similar name "System Settings" At the begining of the page.

Interestingly there are many hyperlinks in the page and all have the same "ID" So i am unable to use "click on Element in Web page".

So i chose to use " Move Mouse to Text and click" But in this case the flow tends to move mouse to the first occuring "System" Instead of 2nd which is at the bottom of the page.

Hi @DanielRaj

If you are using Move mouse to text on screen (OCR) then it should find that text you specify, not part of it.

In my example below I'm moving the mouse to the text Add Photos/Videos

Make sure to use the Windows OCR engine

An alternative would be to try Move mouse to image

Or you could just use Move mouse and specify the X Y co-ordinates.

regards

Phil

For using "click on Element in Web page" you mentioned that they have the same ID.

But is their text value different like "System" and "System settings"?

Also since its a webpage they must be having a different html location?

Take the attributes of each of the links, compare and you will be able to find out some uniqueness.
