Uipath input mode background

Please provide more insights , how the following input modes run in background?

  1. Simulate
  2. Send window messages
  3. Why some web browser especially banking sites doesn’t works on Simulate method !!
2

Simulate and Send Window Messages don’t control the mouse and keyboard (ie Hardware Events) they use API level commands to tell the browser what to do.

Which input modes work and don’t work depend upon the way the web site is built. For banking sites Simulate may be intentionally blocked for security reasons or it could just be a coincidence of how they built the site.

  • Simulate: Fast, reliable, manipulates app object model, but often blocked by secure sites.
  • Send Window Messages: Sends low-level messages, versatile, slower, and may not work on highly secure apps.
  • Security Measures: Secure sites block Simulate due to non-human input detection and session management.
  • Use Send Window Messages: Switch to “Send Window Messages” in UiPath activities if Simulate fails.
  • Browser Extensions: Ensure UiPath browser extensions are installed and enabled.
  • Fallback Options: Use hardware events, custom scripts, and robust error handling/retry mechanisms.
