Clicking a refresh button over and over until an element appears

Hello everyone,

I am building bot that requires the user to click a refresh button over and over until an element appears below it. Sometimes this takes 2 minutes, other times it can take 10 minutes. I do not have activities like element exists, or refresh browser, so I would like some help on the proper way to do it. I have tried while loops and check app state but have had no success. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Welcome to the community

In the modern click activity you have a verify execution option…which will repeat the action of click till the verification passes…in the verification you can indicate the button you are expecting and procide a retry number

You’d need to do something like this:

Hi,
you can use retry scope and inside these put Element Exists
or On element appear activity.
