  • For automating CEF (Chromium Embedded Framework) applications, Run JavaScript and Call a JavaScript function actions in the Browser package can be used. See Automate Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF) desktop Apps to automate CEF applications using the Recorder.
  • When you create a bot using the Call a JavaScript or Run JavaScript actions and want to execute the same Javascript you ran earlier using the Run JavaScript action, the bot displays an error.

    To resolve this issue, see the workaround provided in Call a JavaScript or Run JavaScript actions display an error (A-people login required)

  • When you perform any action from the Browser package on the Internet Explorer browser tab, if multiple tabs with the same tab title are opened in the same browser window, the matching title is not searched in sequence starting from the first tab. The tab activation and browser action might be performed on different matching tabs in sthis case.
  • If the same tab title occurs on different windows, then the action is executed on a tab with a matching title in any window.
