Modify URL parameter?

UI.Vision RPA HowTo

Hi all! I have a URL that looks like this:
https://www.website.com/request?day=2021-05-**10**T00:00:00.000-04:00&location_id=XXX&slot_type=XXX&key=XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXX

I need UI Vision to loop through each day in the next 7 days including today in the URL e.g. visit:
https://www.website.com/request?day=2021-05-**10**T00:00:00.000-04:00&location_id=XXX&slot_type=XXX&key=XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXX

https://www.website.com/request?day=2021-05-**11**T00:00:00.000-04:00&location_id=XXX&slot_type=XXX&key=XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXX

https://www.website.com/request?day=2021-05-**12**T00:00:00.000-04:00&location_id=XXX&slot_type=XXX&key=XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXX

https://www.website.com/request?day=2021-05-**13**T00:00:00.000-04:00&location_id=XXX&slot_type=XXX&key=XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXX

https://www.website.com/request?day=2021-05-**14**T00:00:00.000-04:00&location_id=XXX&slot_type=XXX&key=XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXX

https://www.website.com/request?day=2021-05-**15**T00:00:00.000-04:00&location_id=XXX&slot_type=XXX&key=XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXX

https://www.website.com/request?day=2021-05-**16**T00:00:00.000-04:00&location_id=XXX&slot_type=XXX&key=XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXX

I then need it to read information from the page and store it as a variable. Right now I am doing this manually, but obviously, when tomorrow comes I’d like it to update the date so instead of 10-16 it checks 11-17. How can I come up with an elegant solution to take today’s date and input it in the URL parameter?

Thank you for your help and patience!

Thanks Plankton. And how can I add the variable as part of a URL that will be used in an open command in the Target field?

Just add the variable to the URL. The rpa software will replace it with the content automatically:

https://www.website.com/request?day=**${your_variable}**-04:00&location_id=XXX&slot_type=XXX&key=XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXX
