Data entry into web table with changing URL

Posted on by KGenevieve

I am trying to automate data entry into RMA form (html table). User will go into cloud based system, navigate to the RMA entry screen and then enter SKU information. RMA frequently has multiple lines and it is very time consuming to enter manually. Ideally Power Automate will read text from excel file and enter into the appropriate spot in the HTML table. The issue is that the URL for the page (and therefore the UI elements) is different every time you open a new RMA form.

Is there any way to get this to work ?

Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Hey

Instead of using Launch new browser, can you then get to it in a different way (click places on the screen to launch the program/whatever), and capture the URL as a variable every time you run the flow? That would take care of the first problem. Second problem with UI elements changing could potentially be solved by image recognition if the input fields look the same for each RMA form?

Best regards

Hi,

How is your URL would be different for different SKU information. Share some details around that and as mathiaskjeldsen mentioned you can use URL variable.

Deenuji Loganathan - It isnt different per SKU, it is different per each RMA. So, you login to site and then select RMA Entry and it opens new tab, each RMA entry has a unique URL. Does that make more sense?

mathiaskjeldsen - How would I capture the URL as a variable for each flow run? The input fields look the same for each RMA form, always in same format/spot etc. The only difference would be the number of rows in each html table (depending on numbers of SKU in the return).
