Help Studio
1

Hi,

We enter some code in an website and hit search.

It shows numbers of results found, it can be any number.

for ex: 52 results found, bot has to click on each link and download some data from that, come back click on next link.

how can i achieve this?

Try using for each ui element activity and indicate the url’s and inside that you cna do your task of download and it would repeat for each link

Hi

you can achieve this with TABLE EXTRACTION and FOR EACH LOOP activity

  1. first with TABLE EXTRACTION try to get the URL of all the links you have in a datatble
  2. now use a FOR EACH ROW IN DATATABLE activity and pass that datatable and inside the loop use USE BROWSER activity and pass the row item as input which is a URL
    inside the browser scope you can perform automation you want

Hope this helps

yes but browser activity doesnt work in my case…
because
i tried using open browser and set type Chrome…
in the URL i passed currentrow item…
but bot doesnt open that link from that page itself…
and chrome throws error

is there any activity to click?

when u r using browser like chrome or edge make sure you have the extension installed
only then bot will be able to interact with browser

yes extension is done…

but when we enter code and hit search, below that only i get 52 results…
below that 52 results, i have to click each link and open…

so browser activity doesnt help here, it is directly trying to open the CurrentItem, but i have to open it from the page that i entered code and got results
