Using Automator to click on an Application-specific button
- by Roberto Aloi
I'm new to Automator.
I need to launch a specific application and to click on one of its buttons.
I've used the "Watch Me Do" feature to register the button click but, in the Automator events log, this action is being reported as "Bring the window XXX to the front."
I'm then wondering if a better way exists to "record" a button-click. The reason behind my question is linked to this:

In fact, using the "Watch me do" approach, Automator is apparently not able to perform the click action when the machine is on sleep and a password is required.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
