Taking values from a spreadsheet to fill in a web portal data entry screen

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

Good morning,

 

I'm completely new to power automate so before I throw myself into the world of online tutorials I wanted to check if it's possible to do what I need to do, through power automate. Hopefully someone can help?!

 

What I need is probably quite simple but I'm limited in what tools I can use.

 

I have a semi-regular task which involves manually typing in a long list of product codes into a web entry form on a web portal. The web portal is really old and basic, and requires you to enter product code then [ENTER] to move on to the next product code. Consequently, I can't copy & paste the product codes in as I need to press [ENTER] between each product code.

 

Is there a way of automating this process? I have a vague idea about recording some sort of macro that allows you to input a keystroke for [ENTER] between each product code, then I could just let it run while I have a coffee, rather than smashing away at my keyboard typing in product codes... Is this possible does anyone know!?

 

I have a 365 for business account with relatively high permissions but can probably convince our IT team to allow access to whatever o365 apps I might need, if applicable.

 

Many thanks,

Jonny
