Chrome Browser Limit for Power Automate

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by RaymondYap 2

Hello, 

 

I am trying to build a Desktop Power Automation that requires 4 browsers. 

 

1. Open Chrome and Navigate to  Linkedin.com/mynetwork/. Store as Browser 1

2. Click on this extension button RaymondYap_1-1652717859358.png

3. Open FireFox and Navigate to Linkedin.com/mynetwork/. Store As browser 2

4. Click on the same Extension button RaymondYap_2-1652717862790.png

5. Open Edge and Navigate to Linkedin.com/mynetwork/. Store as Browser 3

6. Click on the same Extension button RaymondYap_2-1652717862790.png

7. Open Chrome and Navigate to  https://www.linkedin.com/feed/ Store as Browser 4 (2nd Chrome instance)

8. Click on the same Extension button RaymondYap_2-1652717862790.png

 

 

I have been able to get to Step 7. But when I try to execute to Step 8, it uses Browser 1 instead of Browser 4. 

 

Is there a way to force Power Automate to recognize the 2nd instance of Chrome as Browser 4 and click on buttons for Browser 4? I need 4 browsers scrolling at the same time.

    From a Developer point of view, I can see why - it knows about browser and page, but multiple instances of same browser may be more than it can handle. I would suggest instead opening a second tab instead of a second Chrome if that can work for your purposes. You might also try opening the second one as an Incognito browser window, but I don't know if that will help.
