    Get Web Element Attribute: Own Text Attribute to %OwnText%

    If %OwnText% = 'needed value

        'do something

    End(If)

    Hi, This is exactly what I wanrt to achieve, but I am quite new to Power Automate Desktop. Could you explain to me the steps on how to achieve this?

     

    The website looks like the below. The value on my excel list will be filled into the search box and I want to loop through the different options and only click on it when it is equal to the value in the excel cell. Could you help me please? 😊

    Can you right-click the element and select "Inspect"? This will open the developer tools of your browser and show what the element selector looks like. If you share a screenshot of that, we might be able to suggest how to build a custom selector for you to click on.

     

    See here for some references on how to build a custom selector: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/desktop-flows/build-custom-selectors#use-variables-in-a-custom-selector

    Also this is a pretty great tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PcyBa22Jj8&ab_channel=Thomas%22Shaky%22Petersen

    Hi Agnius,

     

    OMG amazing! I watched the video and managed to do all of it by myself I learned so much! Thank you! 😁

    Cool. Make sure you give the video a thumbs up, too. I'm not the author, but I know them personally. They don't do a lot of videos, but when they do, they're usually quite great. So, make sure you let them know you liked it 😉

    I already gave the video a thumbs up 😊 Do you have any other good resources on custom selectors?
