Hi,

I am working on QR Code scanning project using Power Automate Desktop.

As an output, I am getting a text that I need to store in the variable.

I am clicking on copy to clipboard.
So I need to save the value to a variable and display it as a message.

This is the output of the QR

After clicking on Copy to Clipboard I need to save that value in a variable.

How should I do the same?

Thanks in advance!!

Hi,

You could use the action "Get details of the UI element in window" and select that text part before close it, the text will be automatically saved in the variable AttributeValue.

Hope this helps.

Anthony.
