    Hi guys, I'm hoping this will be really simple but I can't get it to work.

    I have a profile/task that performs a few clicks on an app when it opens to take me to the sign in page. This part works, but when I try to use AutoInput to enter my username, nothing happens.

    When the sign in page opens, the username field is already selected and has a flashing cursor in it, which prompts GBoard to open automatically. I've tried to use the type: focus, text to write: my username and action: write.

    Auto detect can't pick up any interaction with the app, so I'm guessing this could be the problem...

    Thanks

    Do you get a timeout in the AutoInput action? Or does it succeed? Thanks

    Hi,

    It doesn't do anything.

    If I leave it a few minutes, nothing happens and I can close the app without getting any errors.

    If I complete the sign in manually, I'll get a timeout notification.

    I'm stumped...

    Maybe the sign in page on that app is using a web page? Unfortunately AutoInput can't interact with those, sorry!

    That sounds about right for this app (national lottery). It has several screens that basically open webpages to the main site.

    Not a problem though, as long as I understand why.

    Thanks again for your help
