Spy mode to Read data from web window

GauravDhiman — Mon, 17 Feb 2020 12:01:00 GMT

Hi All,
I am trying to spy email and mobile number data from a web window which appears after clicking the link as shown in picture.It is linkedIn profile of a user and when "Contact window"is clicked ,the contact detail window opens up.
I have tried all spying modes ,it works for once for a contact which I spy in application modeler but does not picks up when contact is changes.

I used Accessibility mode,HTML and UI mode to read the value didn't worked,
I used region mode by using relative,coordinates and anywhere ,didn't worked.

Need your thoughts around it if someone has gone through same issue. Apologies in advance to cover contact's Personal details.

Regards
