The argument BrowserInstance must be Web Browser Instance

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by 2
I am trying to create a flow in Edge where I click on the sign in button then type in the password. When I get to the step to type in the password (I used recorder to do so) I get the error message "The argument BrowserInstance must be Web Browser Instance". The Browser instance on the first step is named "Browser" which is the same instance name in the value field for the password step. What gives?

    HI there!
     
    I'm going to completely guess, without seeing your flow or work.  Always paste in an image or 2 or your flow part in question...
     
    If you used the recorder, the Launch new Microsoft Edge action (or the browser you selected) should be at the top of the flow.  Subsequent actions will include 'Web browser instance' %Browser%.  The error is most likely because the action is missing or above the browser launch.  Again, 100% guessing, please post your images.
