Web Scraping/Data entry

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hello,

We currently use a different product for our web-scraping needs , but are interested in using Power Automate. I wrote a small flow to log into one of the sites we scrape and  enter a piece of data in a textbox and click search, and then proceeded to scrape the data we need, then , back to the top of the loop. It all works fine except after the 2nd time through the loop I cannot alter the textbox. It  retains the value  in the value property of the ui element, and the flow is unable to put in the next piece of data in the textbox. It does not throw an error, the textbox just doesn't change. .  To populate it originally I had to use "send keys" , the "set text box text", would not work. Is there a way to directly set the "value" property ?  Is there a code editor , or is it all drag and drop wysiwyg kinda thing ?
