Instead of using fixed delays, use the “Element Exist” activity to check if a particular element You can combine this with a “WaitForElement” activity, which will wait until the element is detected.
You can use a “Retry Scope” activity to repeat a certain sequence of actions until a condition is met. Set appropriate timeouts for activities.
If your process involves multiple steps, you can use a “Parallel” activity to perform some actions simultaneously while waiting for others.

Hey @poojaskyrathore

Use “Check App State” Activity

Indicate the screen that appears after the page is loaded
And go with Target appears section

If the page is not loaded then go with Target does not appear and put a hotkey to refresh or click activity to refresh the page

Hope it helps you out!

Hi,

When you open a browser using the “Open Browser” activity, you can use the “OnElement Appear” activity to wait for a specific element to show up on the webpage. Once that element appears, you can perform some actions inside the “Do” container, like clicking a button or filling out a form. It’s a way to make your robot wait for the right moment to interact with the webpage.

  1. Use “Element Exists” or “Image Exists” activities: Check for a specific element or image that appears on the web page when it’s fully loaded. This way, your automation will wait until the page is ready.

  2. Set a timeout: Configure the “TimeoutMS” property for these activities to specify how long the automation should wait for the element to appear before timing out.

  3. Retry mechanism: You can add a retry mechanism with a loop to continuously check for the element’s existence within a specific time frame. If it doesn’t appear, you can choose to take an appropriate action, like refreshing the page or logging an error.

In the ui activities use wait for load complete with a good amount of timeout that will make the next action wait till the page is loaded completely or till the timeout given…this way if the load happends quick then it would proceed else it would wait till timeout

Alternately we can use element exists or check app state as well with visible property check if the element is visible
