Closing browser tab

Posted on by rhawkins10701 30

I have created a web automation flow where once a link is clicked a new tab opens. The flow then continues on new tab. Once data is downloaded I need current tab to close but original tab open to switch between accounts. Using close window action it closes the whole web browser. Is there another action I should be using?

 

I need the current tab to close:

Added tab as UI element

    Hi @rhawkins10701 ,

     

    I am unable to reply inside your chat message. It shows "You have reached the limit for number of private messages that you can send for now. Please try again later"


    Give Focus on the main window.

    Then using sendkeys press Ctrl F4. This is to close the individual tab.

     

    PS: It is difficult to view screenshots in a private chat view. Please open a post if you have any questions. Will be happy to help.
