Hi All,

 

As title, how can I extract hyper link on desktop flow not using recorder? 

What I want to do is to extract href link on web page but there is no option to select 'href' elements like below screenshot.

    Hi @adelevance1 

    Are you missing adding any screenshot to the post?

    Do you want to extract hyperlinks from specific section of the webpage like a table etc?

    Or get the links from the entire webpage anywhere on that page?

    I tried to extract the hyperlink value with the recorder, but the option to extract href was not shown, as shown in the attached screenshot. What should I do in this case?

    At first right click on that link and Inspect element.

    Find out the navigation path for the anchor a tag and its attribute href.

     

    For eg; in this case it is under h2 > a

    Then during Extract data from webpage add the same path and the custom attribute as href.
