Web extract on multiple pages tries to continue on last page

Hello,

I've built a simple Power Automate flow where i open a website, extract everything in a html table which is across several pages and then when it reaches the last page it saves the results in an Excel file.

The issue I'm having is that when the flow reaches the last page on the website, it doesn't stop and keeps going try to find the next page, like its looking for the 'Next' button but its not there.

Here is my flow:

Here is the CSS selector for next page of search results

div[id="app"] > div > div:eq(3) > div > a:eq(1) > button, html > body > div:eq(1) > div > div:eq(1) > div > div > div:eq(3) > div > a:eq(1) > button

How do I tell the CSS selector for next page of search results to stop when there is no 'Next' button so that it then moves to the next step and saves the result in Excel?

Regards,

Mark

See if you are able to play around with the selectors and achieve...

Else have an error handler such that if there is any error coming out from that action, then continue the process without throwing the error.

"Some" websites stupidly have a next page even though there isnt any more pages, annoying I know.
As VJR said, if on error continue flow is the quickest workaround, edit the selectors after that...
