PAD Novice Here: Couple of questions....

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 126

I'm just diving into PAD. I've been a huge fan of PowerAuto Cloud and I can see the value in PAD. My end goal here is to have an Azure VM that will house a bunch of PAD flows to accomplish trivial work like exporting Shopify reports.

 

In the little amount of testing I've done, I've noticed how inconsistent PAD flows that interact with a browser can be.

 

For example, sometimes it will find the web element and execute what I want, and sometimes it doesn't. 

 

I've tried using the wait for web page content action but it doesn't work most of the time....

 

This is what I want to do:

1. Log into a credential manager

2. search for a record

3. click on a field in that record

4. open another browser instance

5. log in to Shopify (with credentials that are stored in variables)

6. navigate to a specific screen in Shopify and export records.

 

What am I missing here?!

 

Any help would be amazing!

    If it's feasible, could you please provide a screenshot of your workflow along with details about the website you're interacting with (if it's publicly accessible)? Also, you mentioned that sometimes it's working and sometimes it's not.

     

    When it's not working, could you describe the error you're encountering in more detail? Understanding the issue you're facing will help us better troubleshoot and provide assistance. Thanks!
