Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Is the recorder tool on Power Automate desktop version the only way to automate clicks on a webiste? For example, if I access the same website every day and select specific fields such as dates, and then download an excel file with this data. I am looking for a way to automate this process using power automate, however the recorder tool on the desktop version I currently do not have access to.

Unfortunately, I do not have admin access to accept the recorder application. Is there any other way to automate clicks on a website? It can be with the Power automate app or the desktop version without using the recorder application.

Hi @Anonymous

You have to use browser actions to perform click operations

Thank you. Are you willing to record a video of you creating a bot that automatically goes to a website, downloads a report from the website and saves it to your computer? Or something similar to that?

Hi @Anonymous

I think i can't share video here. but will share a sample of flow which downloads the file from rpachallenge website

here is the flow

This is the website
https://www.rpachallenge.com/

Here i need to download file by clickin Download File button [as highlighted below]

Now let's refer from flow steps used

Step 1: launch the website
Step 2: wait for the Download button to appear in web page

Step 3: click on button

Step 4: after doing step 3, this save as dialog box appears

enter the file path in filename field

Step 5: click on save button

Step 6: the step 6 in flow is optional (just added some delay before closing browser)

Step 7: close the website (if you don't want to perform additional operations )

Hope it helps
