RPA QuickTip: Web Automation Using the Browser Run JavaScript Action

In this RPA QuickTip, we’ll take a look at how the Run JavaScript action from the Browser package can be used to execute JavaScript directly within an existing browser window. With this approach, bot developers can fill or read details/values from objects, interact with page objects, and even update how objects appear on a page. Best of all, this functionality can be used in conjunction with the Recorder package – making this a useful skill for developers to have at their disposal when interacting with non-standard web objects.

Follow Micah and other developers over at the Automation Anywhere Developer Portal, where you can find everything you need to learn and build bots on the Automation 360 platform.

When I am putting script manually, why on my screen its asking to capture the element manually? Why I have the capture button screen for run javascript command?

I noticed that there is a new web automation package that relies on JS scripts, currently only available on enterprise.
Will this come to community as well?
