Hi, 

I'm using power automate desktop. 

And Firefox browser. 

I'm working a flow to upload images to a website. But when i'm running the flow all works good. 

But the sendkeys don't write the image path correctly from the excel sheet. 

It not write the first letter. 

Help. 

Thanks.

    Can you try to Focus Text Field first then use send key.

    Also, check your current item value before sending. does it has full Image path ?
