Newbie question

Hello,

i am new to browser automation and installed the UI.Vision RPA chrome extension.

I would like to create a repetitive task to edit all my post titles on a forum.

I created “Edit Post Titles”

The command works. However it only edits one specific post as used in step 1 where i declared the url of the post it should edit. Now is there a way to execute the same command to edit ALL posts titles on the forum?

I have a full list of the urls stored in a .txt such as:

https://forum-domain.com/editpost.php?p=1&do=editpost
https://forum-domain.com/editpost.php?p=2&do=editpost

Thanks in advance.

Have a look on how to create loops, e. g. with the TIMES command.

If you have a list of URLs, you can import them with the csvRead command.

Thank you. I tried adding the “csvRead” command followed by the “open” command and clicked on “Play loop”. It wil go through the urls on my CSV in the browser but will then edit the same post 3 times.
