@gregbowers could you please share error screenshot for better understanding
Hello team
At thetime of execution of my Automation Anywhere bot, I faced an error message stating 'Unable to Locate Element' when trying to interact with a specific element on a web page. I've verified that the element exists and have checked the selectors, but the issue not resolved.
Has anyone else faced a similar problem during bot execution, and if so, how did you resolve it? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Checked https://docs.automationanywhere.com/bundle/enterprise-v2019/page/enterprise-cloud/topics/control-room/bots/my-bots/cloud-first-bot.htmlrpa
Thank you

Hello Greg,
I've encountered similar issues with 'Unable to Locate Element' errors in Automation Anywhere. A few things to try:
- Ensure the page has fully loaded before interacting with the element—adding a delay or using a "Wait" command can help.
- Double-check if the element is inside an iframe, and if so, switch the frame before interacting with it.
- Try using different selector types (XPath, CSS selectors) or dynamic selectors if the webpage content changes frequently.
These steps often resolve the issue. Hope this helps!
Best regards,
Emily
