Extract data from a UI element and passing it to a flow

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by jan_mac 106

Is it possible to pass the extracted data from PAD to a flow? I have a PAD RPA that extracts data the goal is to pass that data to the body of the email and send it to the email which will come from an excel file that is save on Sharepoint. If yes how can I pass the data? Or there alternatives actions for it?

    @jan_mac just create a new output variable and assign the extracted data to the output variable using set variable action.
