Try Send Hotkey Activity and use " Ctrl+Shift+ Tab " open new tab

Thanks @srdjan.suc However the tabs are blank, how would I specify an url in the sam browser?

In this way you can’t. You can go through the tabs using Ctrl + Tab and then typing into them using Type Into (Be careful about the selectors this time around)

The following worked for me in order to open two tabs with two different URLs - you could add a loop or copy/paste and adjust accordingly:

1) Inside a Sequence, add a “Use Application/Browser” Activity (Chrome) and inside the Browser URL field, I pasted between “” the 1st website link.

2) In the “Properties” section of this activity, I added an “Output Element” which is a variable called “strBrowser”, and then the following “Options”:

3) After that activity, the next one I added was a “Keyboard Shortcuts” Activity, and I configured its properties so that you don’t need to point at an application for it to know where to press the keys, instead, there is an “Input Element” property I defined with “strBrowser”, which holds the object created when we opened the first google chrome link, and then afterwards just sending the “CTRL + T” combination.

4) I added another “Use Application/Browser” just beneath the “Keyboard Shurtcuts” one, and the Browser URL field this time I set it to: “chrome://newtab/”

Then, inside the “Do” section of this activity, I added a “Go to URL” activity and just pasted between “” the 2nd link I wanted to access on that new tab generated on step number 3.

The “Options” I configured within this 2nd “Use Browser” activity are the same than the above shown in the image.

All of the above being said, this is the first scenario that works for me after reading for a while on this specific topic.

I wonder if this would work for automating a process which involve the use of multiple websites being open simulatenously and then executing certain actions on each tab and/or passing info from one to another - that’s still to be tested, but perhaps I will have more info. later when I keep adding on this activity.

Something equally important to note is that under the “Options”, I am using “Single Window” as the Windows Attach Mode, which could complicate things down the line. We should also try with “Application Instance” here if that in fact causes some issues when trying to execute a process on each tab.

I am fairly new to the forum and UiPath overall, but this is exciting stuff!! Thanks!
