Hi @meghan-legaspi ,

For eg. I want to open Oracle Fusion cloud link in Microsoft Edge and click on company SSO button on the webpage.

I believe in case u need to “click a button”, as if you manually opened link in browser and passed sso/captcha/etc. - you will need to use some RPA tool (like “Automation Anywhere”, “UiPath”, etc.), that will actually emulate those moves on your machine as you setup and will return some response data as you configure (return user if in case of user creation, for example).
You can use APIs to share data between Workato and RPA tool (performing RPA logic takes time to process, therefore, usually response with needed data is not instant, most probably you will need to make additional calls in order to check your request status)

@yaro : So there is no way Workato can open the chrome and link in it and take action on it.

I doubt, this exists within Workato.

Will be interested to learn if anything exists for scrapping from website or file scenario - "As per Enterprise Automation Journey with 100 mile race - as mile 0 was RPA"
