Does Robotask recognize when a webpage is loaded?

[melvishal]

Hi,

I have been trying to use Robotask for a series of process steps, one of which includes clicking on certain links on a webpage, after that webpage is loaded. For now, I have given a 'timer' on robotask to click after a certain amount of time. But since the internet speed is not very consistent, is there any way, in Robotask, I can command it to wait for a webpage to get loaded and THEN click on the links?

For instance, if I type 'Robotask' in google.com, I want for the webpage to load and then click on the respective link. Right now, I have programmed it to wait for 5 seconds and then click on the link.

Any help would be much appreciated.

If you open web page in your web browser then Robotask can't determine when the page loading is finished.
You can put enough pauses before next steps.

For something like this, I use Automate which has a screen coordinate pixel color change detection as well as a wait function for when ready. Robotask lives quite happily with Automate and both products compliment each other.

About the only item that Automate is vastly superior is the ability to define separate Task Administrators, Default User and Service User accounts and use them to launch automatic logons for system reboots, totally unattended system management where you can have a black box without a keyboard or terminal and not use remote logon from another system.

Thanks, both.

A quick glance on Automator on google - it looks to be designed for MAC? I am using Win7.

So I guess I have no option but to pause it long enough. Maybe this is something Robotask can consider enhancing in their next version because I guess it'll be pretty useful and make it a 10/10
