Unable to capture UI Element

Hello developers! 😀

I really enjoyed using Power Automate Desktop to automate some tasks. It is very simple and intuitive but I have a problem that I don't know how to solve.

Every time I try to capture an element on the web, it gets saved in the elements panel but doesn't show up as an option when I go to, for example, add a click or populate a text field on a form. It doesn't happen every time, there are times when the selection works normally.

I use the free version of the tool. I hope that using the free version is not the problem, otherwise it would be a terrible experience to continue using this tool. I look forward to hearing the answer to my question and would be very grateful for your help.

    Looks like you are using the wrong actions!

     

    Elements in a browser need to be interacted with through for example the Click element on web page action in the Web automation actions folder. This is why the UI elements don't show up.

     

    It looks like you are using portuguese language in your PAD. If the translations are half as bad as the Danish ones, may the spirits have mercy on your soul 🙂
