Power Automate Desktop browser action

Posted on by 19

I am looking to use Power Automate to enable a browser action that logs into a website and downloads bills. This process includes several steps:
1. Log in to the website.
2. Navigate to the 'Bills' section.
3. For the bill type dropdown set to 'Active', click on each bill on the page, right-click to view the PDF, and then download the PDF.
4. This action needs to be performed for all 93 bills, with up to 25 bills viewable per page.
Every month, new bills are generated, and the same action needs to be repeated.
I am exploring Power Automate and would like to know if this can be done dynamically in a secure way for all 93 bills each time and every month using a simple workflow.
I have the same question (0)

    The answer is yes although it may take some recording of the screen of you doing these actions, it may also require some specific detail knowledge of the site and page makeup because you did a good job of describing what you want, and those steps are good.
     
    What is missing is, for instance, you mentioned 25 per page, but do bill sizes change? so even though you see 25, does the button to download a PDF, or whatever step, move? if you change the resolution of your screen does it change.
     
    Overall though absolutely you can.

    Hi there!
     
    Adding on here:  YES, and I am doing this for hundreds of transactions a week. Essentially, you can visit a webpage, for each link, click through, click on download link (or click a button depending on your website) and loop through all invoices on a webpage, even using pagination at the bottom to go to the page 2, page 3, etc.
     
    If it's an option, sometimes I will set the page size to the maximum, such as 200 per view and you can skip pagination and work with one webpage.
     
    As suggested, there are a handle of ways to do this but the EASIEST WAY to start is simply open up Power Automate Desktop and turn on the recorder, and attempt to download a few pdfs.  Your recorder will automatically determine if the table in the webpage has mutiple invoices and adjust accordingly.  So some of this is trial and error to start.
     
    That said, this entire solution can be created, tested, and implemented in a day.   If you need additional help, you will need to show your desktop flow, show screenshots of the webpage, so others can help you and connect the dots. 
     
    BUT YES, 100% DOABLE.

    @trice602 I tried the record action, however I do not see anywhere it determining the repeated 'view and download pdf 'actions.
