How can I iterate through Facebook Business Chat and check for label before sending message

Hi everyone!

I would like some guidance on how to click through each of the chats, check if the chat has been tagged with “Followed”, and if it is NOT then send a message (please see attachment for reference).

Hey @Termita,

Fetch the selector for a single chat & use idx attribute to loop and go through the chats one by one.

Check if label is found by means of Element Exists and then store it somewhere.

Thanks :slight_smile:

Could you please elaborate a bit more on “Fetch the selector for a single chat & use idx attribute to loop and go through the chats one by one”, please?

UIpath is not assigning an idx :frowning:

What I meant is I need to scroll down on that chat view (which doesn’t have any scroll down arrow button or anything)

Find the keyboard key for scroll it should be either pagedown or down arrow.

Once you find that, you can just use send hotkey activity & automate :slight_smile:

Also, I just noticed that whenever I scroll, the top one chat now becomes idx=1 :frowning:
so they all repeat after idx 10

Yes, you are right. Scroll it through and then repeat from 1

Hope this helps :slight_smile:

@Termita, Did you tried send hotkey activity.

Indicate the chat div element and check send window messages as true.

Thanks :slight_smile:
