If window contains Action(Power Automate Desktop)
This action is a companion to the "If" action, which branches processing conditional on the presence of the specified element or text in the window.
How to use
Drag "If window contains" from "UI automation" under "Actions".
(moved from "Conditions" to "UI Automation" in the October 27, 2021 update)
Set parameters.
After setting the parameters, place an action between "If window contains" and "End" that will be executed if the condition is matched (becomes True).
