Unreliable click and Type into activity

Help
1

Dear Members,

I am building a simple workflow for logging into gmail. But when use type into , click. They are very unreliable and sometimes and sometimes don`t work. I tried below things to resolve the issue.

  1. gave 3 seconds delay before each activity.
  2. tried using launch Workflow Interactive.
  3. Replaced click with click Image.

But even after all this my workflow is still very unreliable.

Kindly let me know what else can be done.

I am attaching the Workflow for your referrence.

I notice you have “Element Exists”. Can you change WaitForReady to COMPLETE?
Also depending on internet speed, Timeout may need to be increased.

Unfortunately I can`t do that , because , the element exists depending on if I am login for first time or not. Sometimes , the element doesnt truly exists, so it should fall into else branch.

Regarding timeout, The robot does reach the page and is there. I know 3 seconds have not happened; so do you thing this will help ?

@MinalGupta I would suggest to use Do while activity with iterator, inside do while just check if field you are trying to fill has text you wanted if no, then type into again and so one. Of course you have to add iterator or time stamp to break the loop with exception.

@venkatmalla6 - Yes, right it has no errors because it works absolutely fine on my computer every time i run.

Looks like for now the problem is resolved,The reason i has supplied only user name in the robot in the orchestrator whereas we should supply both the domain name and user name ( the one that you get by typing whoami in cmd)

@MinalGupta

Yes exactly you have to specify both DomainName\Username in this format.

Use Log message Activity in between your process and check logs where exactly it is failing.
