Hi Shahin,

there are a couple of things you need to keep in mind when using the element action command.

  • Indicate the name of an existing Instance Name. Browser instances can be created through the Create Browser command.
  • Indicate the Element Search Parameters. For the most part, the element's xpath is the most reliable selector. You can capture the xpath by using the element recorder provided on the command, or by inspecting the element's HTML information. Keep in mind that the element needs to be in the correct format for the bot to extract it. For example, using the Get Table action required the element to be formatted as an HTML table (tag <table>).
  • The Action Parameters field asks for the variable in which you want to save the extracted information. The Get Text action requires a string variable, whereas the Get Table action requires a datatable variable.
  • The Timeout field specifies how many seconds to wait for the element to exist before marking it as an error.

Please, let me know if you are able to use the command successfully.

Best regards
