Good Morning!
I'm working on automating a process that identifies when an application goes down and automates the steps to fix it.
The short version is the following:
- The process goes down - an email is dispatched letting me know the name of the process that's having an issue.
- A Power Automate Web Flow identifies that notification email and deposits the information into an Excel workbook.
- The information that's deposited into the workbook is the: Timestamp of the outage, Client name, etc.
Everything up to this point works fine.
However, I'm not sure how to fix the following issue:
The flow can navigate to this point, but the client name (the arrow is pointing at it) changes based on what the client name was from the initial emailed notification. Due to this, I can't just set the UI element in PAD because:
The name of the client will change. In the past, with Selenium, I would use an XPath expression and then pass the variable "client_name" into the XPath expression to make it dynamic, but I don't think I can do that in Power Automate. If I used the above-illustrated UI element, it would fail when a different client name was used since this UI element appears to be specifically for this one client.
For elements on a web page that can change based on the user input - like search results, client names, etc. How can I use Power Automate Desktop to select that element? Or better yet, how can I use my Client_Name variable to make sure that the correct client is selected?
Of course, any and all input is greatly appreciated!
