Q: Hey team, I have two questions: - What should I do if I can’t select text on a website?

I understand that I need to open the website in a separate browser and then inspect the item. Afterwards, I can copy and paste the XPath into the update selector. However, if it is a list and not detected by the CSS selector, how can I select the list?

- What if I want to redo a step?
Ideally, I would like to select a step and have a preview pop open, showing Chrome and that particular step. Now I really struggle and end up doing the whole process over but it limits me so much, or am I doing something wrong?

Do you have any more complex automation tutorials?

Thanks,

Hendrik

A: Can you send an example of not being able to select?

If it’s a native drop-down then the recorder will pick it up. If it’s a custom drop-down the site built then the options will all have selectors although it’s. A bit tricky to find them, you can also “click” the drop-down then add a click step with find by text (click the 3 dots > advanced settings) to look for the text and click based on that. Find by text accepts variables so you can search for some text based on a value from another step, webhook, sheet etc
