Robotask errors out when reaches the login prompt

Post by muneer2908 »

HI,

I want to be able to automatically logged on to my gmail account to send emails.

I am creating a macro for this. When Robotask reaches the login screen, it does not proceed further and stops with error.

How can i make this possible for Robotask to proceed with login in a Macro.

Any suggestions ?

Regards,
Muneer.

You can send email from RoboTask directly.
Use Send Email action.
fo Gmail SMTP you have to use these parameters (see screenshot):

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

Actually I have another task. There is an inhouse application its link is embedded on the home page of our organization. When we click the link, it opens a "Windows Security" pop up window in which we need to put the domain id (Windows login) and password. There is also a "Remember Password" checkbox on this window. We just click on the "login" button and proceeds to the application to use it.

I created a macro covering the whole process but when I ran the Macro, it stops with error at this login window.

Please suggest what could I do.

Thanks,
Muneer.

I'm sorry I can't see your image. It seems that something is wrong ...

I think that you have to put some pause after starting of application (because the login prompt appear some later) 0.5 - 2 sec. You should determine the optimal pause yourself.
Next, you should send {Enter} key to current window. (see Send Keystrokes action)
