Power Automate Desktop - Other ways to identify specific window?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 13

I'm trying to run actions (Get details of the UI element in window) on an application window whose title includes the current day (ex. "Window Title - MM/DD/YYYY"), so my flow has been failing to get that window if the day has changed. Unfortunately, PA doesn't recognize it as a browser instance, so I can't store it in a variable to be referenced throughout the flow. Is there another way to uniquely identify a specific, non-browser window that does not look at the window's title?

    Replying to my own question since I found a solution. I edited my selectors following this page: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/desktop-flows/build-custom-selectors.
