Hi MVP's,
Iam new to Power Automate and exploring things at my end to perform the automation using PA Desktop.
Iam facing a strange issue while working on PA Desktop. For one of my automation used "Click UI element in windows" activity and trying to capture a menu item from the setting tab in chrome browser. But it is not selecting the UI element.
Please advise if there is any other activity available to fulfill my need for this automation.
FYI..Also tried with recorder but it is working for one iteration and for the 2nd iteration it is not capturing the UI element properly.
Appreciate your inputs on this strange issue.
Thanks!
the selector most likely fails because it has some elements that are instance dependent. So you have captured it when certain site is open and now the selector is trying to find the button on a browser that has that site same open.
So for example if I capture the settings icon (the three dots top right) it will take the web site title that I am currently on. So if the flow runs on different site then the selector wont find the element since it might not have the same site open
Edit the selector like this:
And have it only have the elements that will always be on every run instance.
So maybe something like this:
And then also remember to edit the window element also to work on different browser windows (not specific sites)
So this would fail on different sites than "Click UI element in windows -Not capturing ...". SO remove that Name attribute
