Hi Team,

I am currently working on a use case that interacts with multiple web portals. I have noticed that every 2–3 weeks, a few recorder actions fail due to random DOM XPath changes.

Is there an effective or recommended approach to handle such frequent UI changes in Automation Anywhere? Any best practices or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Hi ​@prathamesh.dhavale,

 With Recorder you can try the below, I believe your case Generative Recorder will helps to solve challenges, please check out that as well

  • Replace Recorder XPath with relative XPath
  • Use Recorder with minimal attributes
  • Add TRY-CATCH with fallback selectors
  • Use contains()/starts-with() for dynamic IDs
  • Implement retry + wait logic

Hi ​@Tamil Arasu10 ,

Verify the Control Room Version: Ensure your Enterprise Cloud Control Room is also running version v.40 (or at least v.32) to align with your .40 Bot Agent.

Enable in Task Settings:

Open the RPA task where you want to apply it.

Navigate to Advanced Settings on the right panel.

Expand the Package Settings drop-down and select Recorder.

Toggle on your choice of Native fallback (uses extra static UI properties) or Generative AI fallback (uses live data dynamically).

Check Licensing & Security Policies: Ensure your Control Room administrator has authorized generative AI features under your platform license (e.g., Automator AI entitlements) and that outbound AI connections are not blocked by corporate firewalls
