very helpful-- two things that helped me--maximizing the broswer and using only one monitor. If you have problems selecting or importing the elements from your web page, try those.

Great. I have following scenarios kindly guide what should i do:-

1. If i get specific data of webiste regarding products i.e. UPC (Universal Product Code). UPC can get from website on clicking product title and on new webpage UPC are avaiable. How do i make flow of getting UPC after clicking on product title and then fix UI element on UPC.

2. Product website have thousands of products and ultimately max to max 100 products we can see on 1 page. Suppose if website have 10 pages and each page 100 products then how should i make a flow of getting desire data from all 10 pages.

These above scenario must be worked simultaneously.

Hi
I have a website with many clickable links and when I click on each link, a new tab is open and in this new tab I have many information that I want to scrape.
How can I scrape the new tab's data with Power Automate?
How it possible to Power Automate click on each profile links and open new tabs and extract data and close the tab and then open the next profile in new tab and so on...?
