Help

Hello everybody, it´s just few weeks that I am using Uipath studio and I am trying to automate some activities in my company. Actually my first “problem” is input some data into a website format, the data I´d like to input are coming from an input message box. Basically the user input a key and I have to type it into a website format. Could you please tell me how to do it without using recording function ? Thanks a lot ! Salvo

Hi @Salvo71,
Can you explain the sample input that you have to type into website. As per my understanding you have to type whatever the user is entering into the message box into a website. For doing this store the output of a message box in a variable and use that variable in Type into activity to enter in website. If you want to type according to the button selected in message box, you can just store the selection for example Yes / No in variable and then use variable in Type into activity to enter in website.

Hope this helps.

Thanks.

@Salvo71

you can use Type Into activity .
for passwords , use Type Secure Text activity

use Anchor Base to find the exact position where you want to type text in website.
select the appropriate selectors
