Problem with UI Click in Power Automate Desktop

Posted on by Energy61

Hello everyone,
I have a problem with "Click UI element in window" command in Power Automate Desktop. I can click the command within Microsoft Teams, but when I start the program, it doesn't run. Otherwise it works everywhere, just not within Microsoft Teams.

Can someone give me some advice on this?

Thanks.

Hi @Energy61

Ok, so for automating the Teams it's better to use the GRAPHAPI for this where it has the potential of doing backend tasks without interacting with the UI of Teams automation

Check below link for more details

Hi, thanks for your quick reply. I only use a small part of Teams for my complete automation, so I would only have to make a few clicks and then get out again. Why don't simple clicks work in Teams, could you explain that to me? If these few clicks worked, all my automation would work immediately, without me having to change anything. Thanks for the answers

I took a look as well and yeah seems like PAD won't recognise teams inner panes (even with the UI Spy tool), you'll have to use "Move Mouse to Image" with a click (its in its properties) action to get what you want, shouldn't be much of an issue if you say its just a few clicks here and there.
