Trying to build slack automation, unable to types usernames of leads


I am trying to build a slack automation to send messages, but after clicking on “new message” button, it doesn’t type out the username i have given in the csv. I see its not able to bring cursor on “to” section where it needs to type the username.

however it is able to read the username from the csv, and it says this in the logs: Line 6: timeout reached when looking for element ‘U06PECCL5KJ’

Any help on how to select the “to section” please, im unable to find that element by clicking on inspect…

Try replacing TYPE with XTYPE. This will do real user simulation and should work. You might have to do an XClick in the field first, to set the focus in the right place.

could be an iframe or worse a shadow root which makes all the tags invisible. There is a solution here how to target shadow roots but it’s a lot of hand coding.
