Q: Learning this awesome tool

Hi Jeremy, I've been watching your YouTube videos and trying to get familiar with the tool that I believe will help me scale my business.

I created a simple flow in where for every new Google Sheet row I want to send a whatsapp message. It works in the test mode, and it works in the live mode when I select "Always show browser when running (desktop only)". If I deselect this option then my automation fails on the step 2 where it is supposed to click "New message" button, saying "Element not found".

Any idea on why it would work when the browser is showing and not when it is hidden. I'd rather it stay in the background and work then get a popup every time there is a new row added.

Thank you in advance!

Hey Luka! Sounds like maybe you’re clicking on an icon that when the browser is hidden is not displayed. We normally capture this for the user but can get tricked sometimes by the site. If you write into support@taskmagic.com we can check it out for you. You can try to record the failing step clicking on a different part of the page like the surrounding part of the icon rather than the icon
