The Pop-up Watcher is a separate workflow file that runs as a parallel script whose task is to handle and close predefined but random pop-ups.

This is especially useful when the user doesn't know when the pop-ups will appear. Only pop-ups for which a strategy has been defined can be closed.

Note: It is not possible to run the Pop-up Watcher in RPA Designer.

The Pop-up Watcher is automatically executed when the process is executed by the RPA workflow robot and runs in parallel with the executed workflow. Whenever one of the predefined windows appears, it is detected and the defined strategy is executed.

Note: Closing a pop-up can take a moment. We recommend using Delay activities in case the workflow execution struggles with the pop-up and forces the main process to wait for the Pop-up Watcher to close the window.
