Looping through list IDE

Posted on by jdehmlow

I am trying to figure the best way to go about this. I have a list of names in an excel doc. I want to copy a name and past it into a search box on a website. After that, it performs a series of clicks and types that update a user's record and completes. After it completes I would like it to move to the next name on the list and repeat the process again. How do I input a list and loop through that list until it's done? Currently, I'm using Selenium IDE and changing the value to the new name.

Hi @jdehmlow

From your description I can understand that this task could be easily achieved using Microsoft's new RPA offering which is Power Automate Desktop.

You could read the data using the Excel Actions and then enter the data to the web site with the Web Automation Actions. Using loops, we could iterate through the Excel data.

Please find below some resources to get started with PAD:

I hope the above will be helpful 🙂
