Unattended bot Issue

Hello Everyone,

 

I am working on web automation using Power Automate Desktop. Some UI elements on the website are not being recognized, so I used the "Move mouse to text on screen (OCR)" action to interact with them. The automation works fine in attended mode, but when scheduled in unattended mode, it fails with the following error:

 

"Problem while executing action 'WaitForTextToAppearAndClickTextOnScreenWithWindowsOcr'. Couldn't find the requested text within 00:00:10 seconds."

 

Could you please guide me on how to resolve this issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you!

    Hi @DN1
     
    Make sure that screen/webpage you are planning to move your mouse is in foreground. Also sometimes screen resolution issue would be another issue why the element is not detected by flow.
     

    Thanks & Regards,
