Yes, alternative methods for retrieving attributes can be considered if the "Get Attributes" activity does not meet your needs.
- CheckAppState - This activity helps you to check whether the element is available or not on the specified website. And returns the result in Boolean values. This is similar to “Element Exist” activity, but in CheckAppState activity you do not need additional “IF, Else” condition activity.
It provides you with two branches that will lead to perform actions based on the availability of the element.
- ExtractData - This activity helps you to extract data from web applications that have a similar layout and structure across multiple pages. It helps in retrieving the value with URL from the website as output.
- GetText – This activity helps you in extracting the text value from the website.
If you are searching for any additional input, please provide more information.

To handle such scenarios, you can use “Retry” scope. This activity helps you to execute a loop and delay with specified time limit to wait for the element to become available. You can checkout there documentation available on the Docs portal to view the detailed information.

Thanks once again, on the comparative case with “Robility6” and “Robility Enterprise” version activity, there is one such activity as “Inject JS”. Will this activity help me out on the aspect mentioned above?Hey, thanks for the suggestions! I am particularly dealing with a dynamically changing website.
