Hi, I am using outlook and I want to connect to a shared mailbox with A360, so I can read emails from that mailbox. I see in some posts on this forum that that functionality isn't available (yet?). Does anyone have a workaround for this problem?

Record Capture issue: oracle flexcube

We are using oracle flexcube and we want to automate some stuff.The way flexcube works is by opening a single browser tab and INSIDE it open multiple virtual windows. Each window is its own HTML component. So you have:<html> .... <html>component 1</html> ..... <html>component 2</html> .....</html>please note that the html tag is in under a “document”the “windows” are dragable and can overlap (z-axis overlap i guess).Flexcube automatically opens the “windows” with a prefixed size and position, so most of the time, the window headers titles and minimize/close buttons overlap perfectly.At runtime, when Record Capture tries to click a button, it looks in the first inner <html> tag even if the focus (max z-axis available index) is on another window, which is fine since I am using HTML, but it is unintuitive for other users. It always ends up finding the wrong button.I have tried removing DOMxPath, and path. I also tried adding OuterHT

Excel Loop Counter Number to String question

Hello,I am very new to AA, I am able to copy data from one Excel workbook to another successfully (yeyy!), but my paste cell location is giving me issues. I want it to go to cell A5 and tried using A5 but it puts it in Cell A51, I did A1 to see where it goes and it pastes in A11 so it is adding an extra 10 rows and I am not sure why? My counter is set to 1. My loop:

Errors in DEV VMs

Just curious if anyone else is seeing this. We began seeing this issue a couple of months ago, and it is affecting all of my devs. During development, they all have the Control Room open on their main machine, and use a VM for running the code. Lately, whenever we try to use recorder, we get the following error: This happens on all of our devs’ VMs, regardless of browser, and every single time (after the first time) they use the Recorder. We have uninstalled/reinstalled Bot Agent, and gone through the normal troubleshooting. I do notice this does not occur when launching Control Room inside the VM, but that is not idea for development either. Just curious if anyone else is seeing this before I open another ticket with support. Edit: I forgot to state that this error will come up 3 or 4 times after clicking Capture Object button. Even if we cancel with capture, it continues to pop up.

Request advanced documentation

As a developer, I don’t like black boxes that much.I tried to understand how bot “actions” work on my own, but the documentation is lacking any depth.The one i am interested the most is Recorder Capture.Is there a way to know how they work?

Development via text editor

Hi, I am a backend developer (Java/Moqui) and i was tasked to develop the bots at my company.As a developer i find it nonsensical to use the online tool to do any development for the bots.You lose too much. Git diff is one of the things i miss.Also, a lot of inconveniences pop up, Any undo (ctrl+z) is done silently. I can’t see where it is happening in the code or if it even happened. Same goes for accidental drag-and-drops.Most of all, I hate that all variables are global, lack of methods (yes, i know that bots are supposed to be the methods). The cherry on top is that i can’t write complex expressions in a single line. no lambdas…. Drag and drop assignments. The fact that my work is lost if i let the session timeout for any reason.In all it is a bad experience for me.My question is: Is there a way to write bots directly in an IDE?A VSCode plugin for example….And why is it not exposed in the first place. The result of the bot clearly has to be compiled/interpreted into intermediary la

Issues for trial robot license certificate 25

hello,again we are here, blah blah,l Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsumxxxxxxxxxx11111111111111111111222

The Automation Challenge.

Hey community,Recently I came across a challenge known as : The Automation Challenge : (https://www.theautomationchallenge.com/ V2), a simple looking form where data is entered from an excel file onto the portal. Around 50 rows of data we have to enter.But the catch over here is when you click on start the UI of the page changes. That’s not all, for every row we submit the UI changes and in between we will get a pop-up of I am not a robot, where we have to check the box. Now you guys will think that we can create the DOMX path or get the source code and enter the data, it won’t help, there is a JS Code which you get when you get the source code, no single HTML element.😓Has anyone ever attempted the above challenge, if yes let’s discuss, if not do try out and let’s have a chat on it.🤓🤖
