And a very good day to you Sir

I hope you are safe and doing very well Sir

I am trying to Evaluate ROBOTask for the following Task

I would like to create a Task in ROBOTask to Continuously Monitor and Send an Email whenever a Program called Telegram.exe Opens up a Windows Notification Window

I have already created the Email sending part and have tested that it works

I am at the part where I have to add in the Trigger Part

For the Trigger - I use Windows Watcher to Watch for the "Telegram" Caption Window

Now ever when I save my template

Nothing runs at all unless i click the run task now button

Meanwhile the Telegram.exe program has triggered a Windows Notification Window multiple times over and over

May I please kindly ask how can I get this Template to Continuously Run in the Background to monitor for a Telegram Notification Window and trigger an email sending event every time the Telegram.exe program opens a windows notification window

Hope to hear from you soon

Thank you very much for your time, help, patience and kind understanding

Kind Regards as Always Sir

I created small test task (see below). It works.
Save the text of the task to a file and use menu Task->Import to import the task into RoboTask.
Also you can simply copy task text and paste it into the task list.
Do not forget to enable the task after importing.

But please note that Window Watcher trigger works only within your user session. Trigger don't see any windows in another user session

Code: Select all
