Error running flow in Power Automate Desktop, through a recurrence in Power Automate Web

Posted on by 27

I need to run a daily flow in Power Automate Desktop on a virtual machine, where basically this flow will open a web page and collect information from a specific site. 

The real problem is that when this flow in Power Automate Web runs, the following error is shown:


Problem while executing action 'Click'. Click link on web page failed.

Microsoft.PowerPlatform.PowerAutomate.Desktop.Actions.SDK.ActionException: Click link on web page failed. ---> System.Exception: Some simulated input commands were not sent successfully. The most common reason for this happening are the security features of Windows including User Interface Privacy Isolation (UIPI). Your application can only send commands to applications of the same or lower elevation. Similarly certain commands are restricted to Accessibility/UIAutomation applications. Refer to the project home page and the code samples for more information.

    Hi @guinew21 

     

    After looking provided information, I feel that you are opening a website and In that you are trying to click on a link which is getting failed. If this is the one, then you could probably check below things

     

    • Check if the link is dynamically changing, then you have to check two elements and see if there are chances to build dynamic selector for that
    • check if the link is appearing taking some time then you can introduce some delay and check
    • Also, you can use wait for webpage content and then you can proceed to clicking on the element

    If you find this reply helpful, please consider giving it a LIKE AND

    Thanks,
