Select a File to be used in filling web forms

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 86

I'm running a complex flow where I post jobs to several job boards. On several of them, I need to select a file to attach to upload to the site.  I'd like a flow where it asks

1. Select the file to be used,

2. Stores that file location in a variable,

3. Clicks the "Select File" button on the various websites, enters the file location variable, and uploads the file.

I'd think this is something folks using PAD to fill out web forms would come across often, but I can't seem to find an example.

I have the same question (0)

    Hi @demaionewton

    Here bot is asking user to select a file using display select file dialog, bot will displays a file dialog box and selects a file, then file selected details are stored in a Selected File variable as shown below

    SelectedFile variable contains may properties, among them one is FullName which gives complete path to that file including file name

     

    i have used display message to display the file path using fullname attribute for demo purposes like below
