Support for Salesforce Lightning Interface
When automating the Salesforce Lighting interface, the out-of-the-box generated selectors contain specific Lightning attributes
that are stable and will not change over time, thus making them very reliable and resilient to UI changes. This means the
UI Automation activity package is a great choice for automating this environment. The attributes are
sfl-path, sfl-name and sfl-type.
Note:
Any UiPath.UIAutomation.Activities package can be used to automate Salesforce Classic and Lightning UI interfaces through the generic UiPath browser automation support.
UiPath.UIAutomation.Activities v21.10 or above is required to create automation projects for Salesforce Lightning interface by using the specific attributes described below.
Most elements in Salesforce Lightning can be identified by using the
sfl-path attribute. You can find several examples below:
A selector identifying a search input field; the selector contains the
sfl-path attribute determining the precise path of the element:
A selector identifying an icon:

sfl-path attribute might not be enough to precisely identify the element you are trying to automate. In these cases, the sfl-name and sfl-type attributes are exposed in UIExplorer and can be included in the selector as needed:
