Automate clicks on a website

Like (0) ShareShare

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.

    Hi @Anonymous

    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

    Nived_Nambiar_3-1683050686101.png

     

    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 

     

    Mark it as solution if it resolves your query

    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 

     

    You have to use browser actions to perform click operations

    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.
