Hi I’m new to UiPath. I’d like to know if there is a way to select the downloaded file within live stream to upload it unattended into web app? Just like when you’re using ‘browse file’ when you are uploading file manually
Thank you

Hi @Crevitz

  1. Use the “Click” activity opens the file upload dialog in the web application.
  2. Use the “Type Into” activity: to send the full file path of the downloaded file to the file input field. Make sure the file path includes the file name and extension.
  3. Use the “Click” activity again on the “Open” or “Upload” button within the file upload dialog.

Hope it helps!!

Dear @Crevitz,

  1. Use click activity to clik on Other location option.
  2. It will ask you which location you wanted to open.
  3. Then use type into activity to open your file location folder. Try to pass “/tmp/fileName.xlsx” whole file path.

Mark as solution if it solves your issue :slight_smile:

Hi @Abdulrahman_Alfarraj

Please provide an absolute path for same.

For eg

C:/users/tmp/file.xlsx

The path you shared above is relative path. Please get the absolute path for same and then pass using type into activity.

Dear @Abdulrahman_Alfarraj,

Please use Browser File Picker Scope activity to select the file.
For this you need to pass full path of the file location.

Please refer attached Web workflow to which upload png file to background remover website. It will help you to build your knowledge.
