Hi guys! Happy Xmas everybody first of all!

So i was trying uipath to automate some skype tasks but i was failing the whole time. I can’t get the selector to work. it gives me everytime this error.

Tried the wildcard for the skype messages about windows Ex: SkypeTM [11] - Skypeusername

SkypeTM [*] - Skypeusername

Username doesnt change so i dont think that it is needed.

I have so far 0% success rate.

I would highly appreciate some help :slight_smile:

Try opening it using start process and use attach window with selector * Skypeusername * (remove spaces)

Hi @BillionaireEmpire,

Can you please share(only if it DOES NOT contain Sensitive Personal Information) your workflow file, and I will try to work on it.

If not can , can you explain in detail where exactly r u facing d problem,

Is it when u try to launch Skype and sign in to it ?
Or what task are you trying to perform , when u get this error ?

The executable is “lync.exe”. I just finished an automation to turn on call forwarding as there is no API call for this particular function. I had to invoke Skype by calling “lync.exe”.

I hope this helps.

Below is the exact selector I am using to open Skype and then do a call forward:

<wnd app='lync.exe' cls='CommunicatorMainWindowClass' title='Skype for Business ' />

I hope this is helpful.

So i have an automation that starts the lync.exe(im already logged in) and then does Tools>Cal forwarding option>Turn On and select Voice Mail > Click Ok

Check it out.
