Example: Fetching Visible Text from a UI Element

In this example, we are explaining how to retrieve the visible text from a captured UI element using the Get element text action.

• Action: Get element text

• Input Value: N/A

  • This action does not require any input value. It extracts the visible text from the specified element from the application.

• Output Value: {Get Text}

  • The retrieved text (e.g., Click the button!) is stored in the {Get Text} dynamic variable.

  • If a second output variable is defined, it stores the action status with the following possible values:

    • True: If the text is retrieved successfully.

    • False: If the text is not retrieved successfully.

• Logical Explanation: The Get element text action does not require any input value. It identifies the target element and fetches its visible text content. The text (Click the button!) is stored in the {Get Text} variable.
