Click Relative to A Web Page Element in Power Automate Desktop

Posted on by Kritika

Hi,

I have a requirement of selecting a button relative to a link. I am facing below challenges:

1. Unable to create dynamic selector such that the link can be captured by passing name of the link(as displayed on the web-page) within the selector. I have a list of name of the files to be selected from OneDrive Web application and the names should be passed as dynamic variable in the selector. On setting the "Title" attribute to the name of the file, the selector becomes invalid.

2. Post being able to capture the link dynamically(as explained in point 1), I should be able to click on an element relative to the link ( for example, using x offset). I cannot find such activity for Web Automation which supports the option of specifying offset.

I would really appreciate your help on above issues.

Thanks

2. Coordinate based automation is not a good idea. Just try to find the right CSS selector for the other element.

@Kritika, re your second issue, you could perhaps use one of the "Mouse and Keyboard" actions. As an example, see below. This particular action (as the name suggests 😀) requires an image, but you might experiment with the other "Mouse and Keyboard" actions to see if you can accomplish your purpose. Also, if you are free to share a screenshot or screenshots of your issues (that's not always the case, of course) it will make it easier for forum members to offer some help.
