Go to URL on a New Tab

I’ve created the sequence below:

gotourlnewtab
gotourlnewtab376×599 17.4 KB

The problem is that “Go to URL” impacts the first tab rather than the New Tab.

Question is, how can I keep the first tab on the URL where it is and go to another URL on the new tab?

Thanks in advance. Just getting started with UiPath and couldn’t find an answer to this question elsewhere. Also, if there’s a better way to open new URLs in new tabs, please let me know. :slight_smile:

Hello @ollitk ,

Why not navigate directly to the second url from the first place? :slight_smile:
It seems that you are opening 1st url, do nothing and then open a new tab…

Best regards,

Hello @Marius_Puscasu

Thanks for answering so quickly. :slight_smile:

The idea was to use UiPath to open multiple URLs in multiple tabs, so that I’d have all the needed websites open.

I know this can be done with Crome very easily, but since I’m learning UiPath, I want understand how this kind of actions can be done with UiPath.

So basically this is more of a theoretical rather than practical problem. :slight_smile:

Hi @ollitk ,

Yes, the navigate activity will impact the current browser. If you want to interact with the new tab you will need to use another browser card and capture the selector of the new tab, remember each tab is considered an independent application.

@ollitk you can use attach browser and then open new tab and go to the specified url

You need another Use Application/Browser activity to attach to the new tab that opened. In fact you don’t even need the KB shortcut, the Use App/Browser will open the tab for you.

And yes, the second UAB can be inside the first one - if you need to go back to the first tab after working in the second one.
