Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

I was really excited to start using Power Automate at my organization, but now I'm just frustrated with the program. I consistently run into problems with a browser flow failing at different points. It will work fine and then randomly fail at one of the action steps, but where it fails is not always at the same action. Two of the main problems I run into is clicking on links and filling out text on a web page. Before Power Automate, another user tried out UiPath, creating the same type of flow, and never came across these issues. I want to keep using Power Automate, so I'm trying to figure out what is going on.

Are the browser automation actions known for having issues like these? Does anyone have any recommendations when working with the browser automation actions? Additionally, I have a cloud flow setup on a schedule to run the desktop workflow nightly. Below is what the flow is trying to accomplish.

1) Open Edge and navigate to a specific web page

2) Login to the site (fails here sometimes)

3) Navigate to a specific area within the site by clicking links (fails here frequently)

4) Update text date fields to create a date range (fails here frequently) and apply

5) Download a couple reports from the site

6) Repeat 4 and 5, but with a different date range

7) Sign out (fails here sometimes)

8. Close Browser

9) Rename files

10) Move files to new location and overwrite existing files (fails here sometimes)
