Hello Ahmed,

Thank you for contacting the Blue Prism community.

I suggest using the waiting stage when clicking on the login/password button and ensuring that the user button for the password button exists.

Hello Nauman,

I would recommend referring to the Modern Browser Automation course at BP University which mentions the best practice for dealing with modern browsers.

Also rather than automating Gmail on the UI level, you can explore other assets on Digital Exchange that can work using API for email operations on Gmail.

That will be faster, more reliable, and more efficient than UI automation.

@Nauman Ahmed,

As @Tejaskumar_Darji suggested, I would recommend using an existing integration to work with GMail instead of working through the browser. If all you're trying to do is download email or send email you might want to look at the EMail - POP3/SMTP VBO. If you're working with GMail accounts that are part of a Google Workspace environment, you might want to look at the GMail API connector.

Hi,

I just tried to access this vbo through DX but links are broken. I can't download anything.

Thanks
