Target Exists

The Target Exists action determines if a target exists. You can use it to ensure that a page is a loaded or a field is present when Nintex RPA LE interacts with it.

Note: The Actions Quick Reference provides a complete list of actions that you can print for easy reference.

Create a Target Exists action

  1. Drag and drop the Selector tool onto the target to display the Target Preview. Select a target that only appears when the page you want to load is loaded so that the button or actual target you want is ready for Nintex RPA LE to interact with it.

  2. Click the Target Exists Flow action.

  3. If you want to save the action to a variable, in the Save to field, click the Ellipses or the Magic Wand and use the Expression Builder.

  4. Click Rules to refine the rules for targeting the technology. For more information, go to Action rules.

  5. Select the required target timing setting from the drop-down list:

    • Do not wait: If the target is not immediately found then Nintex RPA LE does not retry the action.

    • Wait up to: Nintex RPA LE tries to find the target for the allotted time. Time units include numeric settings for seconds, minutes, and hours.

    • Wait forever: Nintex RPA LE tries to find the target forever.

  6. If needed, adjust the Run error task settings to fine tune how the action runs.

    • Run error task: A botflow containing an error task automatically runs the error task in the event of an error. If the botflow does not contain an error task, the botflow stops in the event of an error.
    • Stop on error: The botflow stops in the event of an error.
    • Ignore errors: The action is skipped in the event of an error and the botflow attempts to execute the next action.

  7. (Optional) Add Notes to document special instructions or functionality.

  8. Toggle the run switch to Run and click OK to execute and save the action. A Boolean value of true or false is returned after running the action.

    9. Note: The run switch is set to Run by default. To create or modify this action without executing it, click the slider to change the option to Don't Run.  For more information, go to Action Builder.
