Errors in a Power Automate Desktop flow that accesses links on a web page

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 2

Good morning.

I have a Power Automate Desktop flow that runs programmatically on a server. The flow accesses a web page, logs in with a username and password and accesses different links on the website until a file is downloaded.

The flow runs on a scheduled way several times a day. If I run it manually it always works. But on scheduled runs, it always fails for me when it have to access the last website link that needs to be accessed to download the file.

What could it be due to?

Thank you so much.

    Thanks for answering.
    The flow does not give an error, because I have it controlled so that, if the action does not produce results, I redirect to another point in the flow so that it sends me an error message.
    The flow is configured to attempt to access the menu button using three different actions (click web link, click image, click link). And, after three attempts at each of the actions, if the download page does not load, it is redirected to send a message to the administrator.
    I send you a screenshot of the flow execution on the server, and a screenshot of the Desktop.
    I explain you with more details in te attachment.
    Thank you so much
