Unattended mode not working

Posted on by BlondAdka

Hello

I have 3 flows which are in one flow as run subflow. The unattended mode starts every day in morning, but every time the first run crashes on UI element.

When I run it manually (still unattended) it is already working and doesnt fall.

Should I update PAD or ?

Thank you for answers

Is there enough wait time so the UI element gets to load in time?
What error message does it give? What action does the flow fail to? Does it give a screenshot that would give some indication why PAD couldn't find the UI element or for what ever reason it crashed?

Usually in Desktop flow logs (make.powerauomate.com -> monitor -> Desktop flow runs) you can see screenshot of a failed action when the flow fails. If you have error handling that prevents the flow from failing then add take a screenshot action.

Update not required for this use case. Maybe you try anyone of below wait options and see whether it resolves your issues.

Wait - This command instructs the program to wait for X seconds

Wait For Web Page Content - This command waits until the specified web page contains the specified element. For example in the below code, It's waiting for the text area with the label 'Search' to be present on the Google home page.

If WebPage Contains: This is a conditional statement. It checks if the web page contains another element labeled 'Search ' on the Google home page.

So you may try to increase of current time duration or else you can use other windows wait actions as like i mentioned for browser.
