Hello dear Power Automate Community,

I'm happy to join !

I'm migrating my automated processes from Automation Anywhere to MS PAD.

Could someone help me finding the equivalent of following Automation Anywhere "if" statement in PAD:

I found "If windows" and "If window contains" actions that could suit with each one of the condition, but how to use them with AND / OR within the same "if" statement ?

Thanks in advance,

I tried with that expression:

but having a syntax error.

What would be the right expression ?

Tom is right for the generic If under the Conditionals section. More into can be found at this link, if you are interested to learn more about what you can do: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/desktop-flows/variable-manipulation

But for your question, I don't think that helps. On the more specific versions of the If you mention like the "If window contains" and "If web page contains", they are what they are. I would say to just nest them or use them to set boolean variables that you then use in the traditional If where you can build the more complex conditional.

Apology, I didn't realize you are using power automate desktop. I do not use that, so can't help. My replies was relating to power automate cloud flow. not desktop flow, though i cannot imagine it to be too different.

Hi NsL Coder,

Thx for your answer.

How would your suggestion "Condition action" look like with my case. I do not find any AND / OR option for condition action in PAD

power automate support for and/or condition is pretty good.

You can either use expression or the Condition action which allows you to do "group" of condition

Expression:
and(condition1, or(condition2, condition3))

Condition action:

AND (

condition1

OR (

condition2

condition3

)

)

Hi trice602,

Thanks for your answer.

How to use your answer with "If window" and "If window contains" ? To have the same condition as the one in my example ?

Hi,

Here's an example that uses Contains, AND, and OR. I made this up with some variables in a flow, so not a real condition but the formatting will help you with your question.
