Need help with Webpage automation

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by VineetSemwal 14

Hi Everyone,

 

I am new to Power Automate Desktop. I have worked with other Automation Tools extensively.

 

Problem Statement - I have a logged into a website using Browser Automation. Through automation, on home page, I clicked on an element which opened a new webpage. This new webpage does not have a Web Browser Instance. I need to click on the elements on new webpage. I am able to capture the element, however, I am getting runtime error, and the code is unable to click on elements present in new Webpage.

 

I have tried recording actions, Navigate forward action etc. Everything I tried is giving runtime error.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank You !!

Vineet Semwal

    Hi @VineetSemwal 

     

    Try see if you can attach the same web browser instance using attach option as shown below in launch action:
