Click on dynamically created web link

Posted on by onewattamp

I need PAD to click on a dynamically created web link. In my automation I create a new folder titled with a variable. I want PAD to open that folder, but I can't figure it out.

The example is here:

https://app.filepass.com/s/WpPambFnSWflA9rh/p/Test

If I create a Test2 subfolder with PAD, how can I get it to open it after creating it? I'm not knowledgable when it comes to CSS, so I'd love a little hand holding there if possible!

Hello,

Could you please post additional details on how to configure power automate to click a dynamic link? We have a page with multiple dynamically generated links, each of which needs to be clicked. The text will always be the same "click here" but the link <a href='this-is-dynamic'>stays the same<a> changes each time. Based on comments above this seems possible but I'm new to power automate and not sure how to correctly configure this.

Thanks,
RyanK

Create a new variable called dynamiclink (or whatever)
Click custom and put in the code above (or similar)
Now you'll see dynamiclink in your UI selector
