Pasting Data into UI element

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 11

Hi All,

 

I'm new to Power Automate and loving the robust features it already making life easier. I'm trying to build a flow on desktop at the moment I've made it so it can copy the data from the excel file I need to grab data from I need it to paste into a UI element (webpage doesn't accept emulated typing) what action do I need to use for this?

 

Any help is appreciated thank you 🙂

    you should be able to read from excel into a variable and then add the variable into the UI Element 

    see Excel - Power Automate | Microsoft Docs

    and UI automation - Power Automate | Microsoft Docs

    I've tried this but all it does error out:
