Example
Here we are going to automate the process by opening the browser and
entering the Java script into the webpage.
To build the process,
1. Open a project and create a workflow.
2. Drag and drop the Inject JS activity to the workflow.
3. Double click on the activity.
4. Enter the URL as “ https://robility.sutherlandglobal.com/Oracle/form.html”
in the box.
5. From the properties panel, enter the Java script in the JSScript option within
the double quotes.
6. Now, execute the workflow and the bot will automate the values in the Page
using the Java script code.
7. Create a variable in the output property or from the variables panel.
8. Add Write line activity below the Inject JS activity.
9. Double click on the activity and enter “OUTPUT” in the box.
10. You need to give the variable name near to the text by adding “+” and the
variable name.
11. Execute the workflow.
The bot will open the Webpage and executes the action from the Java script.
From the script, it returns the variable as output in the Output log.
