PL-500 Essential Companion Tidbit # 2

Here is a snippet from my e-book: PL-500: Microsoft Power Automate RPA Developer Study Guide – The Essential Companion now available here. 

Section: Design solutions (25-30%)

Subsection: Determine how to interact with an application targeted for automation

Topic: Choose which automation technology to use to interact with a target application, including using selectors and user interface element inspection

Suggested Approach:

To choose which automation technology to use to interact with a target application, you need to consider whether the application is a desktop application or a web application.

For desktop applications, you can use UI automation actions to interact with UI elements using selectors.

For web applications, you can use browser automation actions to interact with web UI elements using selectors.

Selectors are expressions that identify UI elements based on their attributes and values. You can generate selectors automatically by capturing UI elements using Power Automate for desktop, or manually by editing the selector properties. You can also create selectors based on an element’s text value, which is helpful for scenarios that handle elements with specific texts.

User interface element inspection is a feature that allows you to inspect the attributes and values of any UI element on your screen. You can use it to verify if your selectors are accurate and reliable
