And you can do the same with Firefox, Edge, and Explorer. 2:33 Website login Store the credentials into variables. Then you can use the variables in Power Automate actions. For example, use Populate text field on web page actions to type in the username and password on the website. Next, you'll create a UI element with the address of the fields in the browser. In the browser, press F12 to open the developer tools, and then we can inspect the CSS addresses, which we can use in Power Automate for Desktop. Finally, create a UI element for the login button. 12:20 Take a screenshot Use the Take screenshot of web page action to take a screenshot. Then, we save the screenshot to a file. 14:59 Dynamic file naming A great trick is using the date and time in the file names to ensure they are unique and won't get overwritten. The Get current date and time action gets the current system time, and the Convert datetime to text action converts the datetime to a text we can use in the filename for the screenshot. #office365 #powerautomate #rpa
