This seems simple. I am able to open the website but I can't see how to (1) enter the required username and password. I would also like to afterward (2) refresh the page every so many seconds and if the word Accept appears (3) click the button next to it. And if the page asks again for the username and password (4) re-enter it.
I had thought Robotask would have something like Excel's macros that would record my keystrokes but if it does I'm missing it.
Is this possible?
open website enter username/password
open website enter username/password
1) Open the web site by using "Run program/open document".
Next wait a few seconds enough to loading of page.
Select the necessary input field by sending a few TAB keys or using mouse actions. This depends of your browser and screen resolution.
Send the password, TAB key ( or a few TAB keys), password and ENTER key.
Next wait a few seconds.
2) I recommend you to put this action into separate task. In order to refresh content of the page send F5 key to browser's window. This is working in most web browsers.
In order to get text from web page use clipboard actions:
- Send Ctrl-A (select all) to browser's window
- Clipboard Copy ( or send Ctrl-V)
- Get Text into variable
- Next you may use "If ... Then" or "STR Pos" actions in order to search desired word in text
3 and 4) You have to detect login form by some key-words (see above) and resending login parameters if it's necessary.
I want to say that it's the set of not trivial tasks and you have to spend some times in oredr to choose desired parameters and debug all tasks.

Thank you for your response.
I now have #1 working.
Is there a way to have it refresh the screen once every minute? Is that a "simple loop"?

Create a such task:
It have to send F5 key to browsers window, nothing more.
Attach the cyclic triggering event to this task (each 60 sec).

I tried clicking on Add Action and Windows Command but Refresh is not available on the drop down list. Where can I find Refresh?

Use "Send Keystrokes" action and write {F5} in the "Keys" text.
Also choose "Specified window" and select the necessary caption of the window.
