I am running into an error message in Power Automate that says "error in communication with browser" when attempting to perform any web page actions, such as filling in a text field, specifically on the website https://qbo.intuit.com.
Initially, I thought the issue was Power Automate communicating with the web browser but then I programmed it to go to Google.com and found that I was able to type text in Google's search bar.
That confirmed that the issue is specific to the web form used on https://qbo.intuit.com.
Can anyone, in Google Chrome, try going to https://www.qbo.intuit.com and see if they can have Power Automate fill in the "Username" field.
If you are able to, please let me know how you were able to do it and possibly post the flow so that I can see it as I am relatively new to Power Automate.
However, I am not new to RPA as I use UiPath on a daily basis. I have not seen this issue in UiPath before.
I faced similar issue on that particular URL. As you are well verse with UIPath i am assuming you are doing things correctly. If you click on error, further details tells that this could be extension error.
Try to reinstall the extension and PAD itself. This may or may not solve your problem. Check these links for any help. PAD Browser Setup, Error with Browser
However, if your aim is to populate that form field with some text, you can leverage Javascript function feature from PAD.
Search for Run JavaScript function on web page
action in left pane. Drag-drop it after Web page load action and put the below code in Javascript function. Element id you can get by Inspect
feature from browser
document.getElementById('ius-userid').value = <Your input goes here>
