@sam.lee

Hi @Sreelatha278, I already tried both, the pop up window just won’t appear, I don’t know why

Hi @TanVuong, I already tried, neither will pop up the window

My robot is running in background while my computer is locked. If it runs in the Ui there’s no problem for the pop up window

Hi sam.lee i think it’s impossible, Background process can’t run with UI Interaction activities such as click or type into.

@TanVuong For click and type into activities can be ran in background process as long the stimulate/sendwindowmessage is checked. The problem now is the popup window.

Can you give me the error you encountered?

Let me explain the steps:

  1. Click ‘Add Attachment’, then the file explorer will pop up
  2. Type into ‘File path’ to locate the attachment

The problem now is the file explorer window will not pop up which cause the next step faulted. The error showed is ‘Uielement not exist’. I’m assuming if the robot running background, Chrome will not able to popup the file explorer window.
