PowerAutomate Desktop Web Form Issues

Posted on by SHess04

I am working on a PowerAutomate Desktop flow where it will pull in a list of variables from Excel, go to a website, and loop through each of the Excel Variables populating fields as it goes. I have ran into an issue where the fields I am requested it to populate have different UI Element names even though the physical appears of the fields does not change from page to page. Is there a way to get PowerAutomate Desktop to recognize that these are the same fields and to populate them?

may be when you want to click something the page changes or it opens new tab?
if so use launch edge or chrome browser whatever you are using then attach to running browser instance
give URL or title

The selectors might be dynamic. In order to work with that, you need to learn how to modify UI element selectors and make them more robust.

I suggest watching this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PcyBa22Jj8&ab_channel=Thomas%22Shaky%22Petersen
