UI element doesn't show when trying to select it

Posted on by KurtS

Hello,

I'm having an issue with power automate.

I have made a new tab in my browser that will take me to chrome's downloads page. However, when I add a UI element from that web page it populates as shown in the picture below (box labeled 2).

Then when I try to add that UI element to the action of downloading a link from the web the UI element doesn't show up in the list. There are two browser variables and it doesn't populate in either when I try to add the UI element.

Can someone help me please?

Once save the flow close the PAD app and then open again Then select the UI element again
and Try to add the indicated ui element from the list of UI elements

That's because what you have captured is a local application UI element, and not a web page UI element. Those only work in the "UI automation" actions, and not in "Browser automation". Whatever the element is, you have either captured it incorrectly, or it won't work with this action, and you'll need to use Press button in window and then automate whatever UI you need to save the file in your desired location.

This isn't working either. Are there any other ideas of how I could add the element?

I tried this and it didn't work.

Do you have any other thoughts on how I could add the element?

Can you share the screenshot of the actual element you're trying to click? Also, what it looks like in the developer tools of the browser, when you right-click it and select "Inspect"?
