Automate Gmail add labels

[GMPLLC]

I have a fun project but I can't seem to get past the first step. My first step is to create a task that loops through an Internet Explorer table (a salesforce.com report) capturing each record. I have this down fine.

My next step is to log-in to gmail.com (got this OK), click on settings (got this OK), click on labels (got this OK). Now in the labels page there is a text box and a submit button. I want to set the text with the current Table record and click submit. Repeat this for all of the table records.

I know how to do all of this but for some odd reason my AA task will not set the text of the text box. It has to be something strange with Gmail.

Can anyone kindly give me a sample task with the following;

Navigate URL - www.gmail.com (we'll assume I'm already logged in so dont worry about log in credentials)

Click on link - Settings

Click on link - Labels

Set text box with text "Test Label"

Click the Submit button

If I can get past this simple task I'll be well on my way. Thanks in advance.
P.s. If anybody else has had trouble specific to Google Apps or GMail I'd like to know.

Hello,

We have created the sample task as per the requirement. To run this task, please copy it under location, 'C:\...\My Documents\Automation Anywhere\Automation Anywhere\My Tasks' folder.

This task would launch www.gmail.com (you need to enable 'stay signed in' option so it would directly open your account), click on Settings link, click on Labels link, set text 'sample' in label tex box and finally will click on Create button.

Note: Automation Anywhere 5.5 is required to run this task.

You can download free version of Automation Anywhere 5.5 from our website:
Automation Anywhere - The Leading Automation Software


Hope that helps.

Thanks for the efforts but this doesn't work for me unless my screen resolution or something of that nature is corrected. Is there a way to do this without using mouseclicks (i.e. x,y)? I'm still totally confused at why I can successfully set the text for a text box on any web page in all of the tasks I've done in the past but when it comes to this particular page it will not work. So strange. Any ideas at why it won't work?

Hello,

Many a times custom web controls are hard to find as their code is not standard windows code. However, you can also use our normal recorder to automate the same scenario in which all clicks happens location based. If the location of the textbox does not change then that will also work.

In addition, you can use Image Recognition command to recognize and click on Textbox on webpage. Enterprise version offers 'Image Recognition' command to automate a task based on images (pixels). Image recognition is 50 times faster with Automation Anywhere. You can use this feature for many large image comparisons. and to automate any application using visual elements. It also provides a powerful feature that allows you to click, right-click or double-click the image if it is found within the larger image.

We have attached amended task that includes Image Recognition command to recognize the Labels textbox and click on it. Then using Keystrokes command you can type in Label name and hit Enter to create a label.

Hope that helps.
