What is the Detect IE Action?
The Detect IE Action force detects the running browsers. Before Nintex RPA can interact with a browser, it must first be aware that the browser is running. Nintex RPA is designed to automatically detect browsers when they are launched. In certain scenarios, a browser may not be detected due to how the browsers loads into memory. In these cases, a Detect IE Action can be added to a Botflow to instruct Nintex RPA to look through all the running browsers and detect any that may have been missed when it was launched.
Note: The Detect IE Action is slow to execute, therefore use this Action sparingly to maximize speed. In most cases, this Action is not needed.
