How to type file name into Save As box in Google Chrome download

I am designing a Bot to download multiple bank statements from several different bank websites. I have run into a jam, whereby I continue receive an error and the Bot does not type a designated name into the Save As pop-up screen. Does anyone have a solution for this in Studio X?

Hello @Brandon_Friedlander , welcome to the forums!

You could eliminate this problem instead of compensating for it in your process. Instead of trying to do the Save As, you may try the following alternative:

  • Use Wait for Download Activity to ensure that the following activities will happen
  • Simply download the file (instead of Save As) to the default Chrome \Downloads folder
  • This will eliminate the Save As problem
  • Once the file downloads: Move the file from the default \Downloads folder to your target folder with a new name

Thanks

You have to Attach to the Save As window that appears. It’s separate (to Windows and UiPath) from the browser itself. It’s really a WINDOWS window, not a Chrome window.

That’s a common scenario with excel. The screen is not completely ready and the robot gets excited and tries to do its task but Excel doesn’t respond to those input from robot

We dealt with it using thr selector’s property. We made the selectors property of WaitForReady as COMPLETE.

Also suggest you to use F12 as Send Hotkey to open Save As screen, that saves us from failures at two screen.

Hope this helps!
