Hi All,

I got a question here, my flow need to open a website, in the website there will be consist of multiple download link with the word "download". Once user

click the "download" it would bring up the save file prompt. I tried multiple method but still failed to get PAD to loop each download and download the file required.

Any advises?

Thanks

Hi,

Can you show the selector of one download element- just see whether there is any attribute like rowindex or a integer which represent the position of download button.

Extract data from webpage only can capture the text of download, I set it to detect all the download text, but when I set within the loop to click on the "download" element, PAD will only recognise that particular element and repeated clicked on that.

Hi,

One way is to find out the total number of download options available in the webpage using extract data from webpage action. I assume that selector of each download link will have a kind of integer number which denotes the position of each download button. So next using a loop and a click action - you can make the flow to click the link and download the file to destined folder.

Thanks & Regards,
