Very informative series of tutorials for Open RPA. Thanks Anders and Allan. Do you have plans to cover the usage of other important activities in the tool, like working with Outlook, managing files, etc. It is a quite a common task to automate activities that start with getting some new emails, extractions of attachments, parsing them and sending further, either with email or sharepoint or other tools.

Anders I am having the same problem as "Not applicable Has the software been updated since this video? When I add the 2nd "Get Element" another sequence is automatically added. When I view the selector in the 2nd "Get Element" not just the first hit is returned all elements that are hit are returned." Ask if he can write at the OpenRPA git. Is that referring to Github? I am not able to find any help section. Also in your demo when Allan selected the noodle package and image appeared on his "Get Element" selector, I do not get that image on mine. Is there a setting I need to setup? Thanks

Hi. Can we get the base code of a Workflow like in .net so that we can transfer that to some other .net based automation tool?

Has the software been updated since this video? When I add the 2nd "Get Element" another sequence is automatically added. When I view the selector in the 2nd "Get Element" not just the first hit is returned all elements that are hit are returned.

Is there anyway to set timers for these automations?

For example, on 9am every Monday I want to scrape data from a website and export to an Excel file. Is this achievable in OpenRPA?

Why according to the video operation, after "AddDataRow" is written to EXCEL, only the data of the last item is written

Tried doing this tutorial about 20 times. Get as far as inner GetElement and assign and the whole thing wont run. I found the highlighting panel on the website had shifted up and to the left of the element I was hovering over & when I tried highlighting it showed me two panels!! I was using Firefox as the browser. I do not want a suggestion of another browser, otherwise the tool is limited. It took me ages on a previous tutorial that I needed to put browser as "ff" whereas Chrome is "chrome" and Edge is "edge". A bit of inconsistency in definitions, just a small thing that I'm finding confusing. If the simple tutorials are difficult for really basic things I'm not that confident that the OpenRPA would be up to complex tasks. AI also note that the panel highlighting remain when I've still got OpenRPA open even though I'm not running any RPA's and its coming up in all my other programs. I have to shut down OpenRPA and then restart it and then the highlighting goes away. Frustrating so far. Kind regards,
