Hi Team, i am having some trouble getting my lindy computer to work as needed. The lindy computer has been cycling through the same couple actions several times instead of proceeding to the next section. Goal- search all the residential new construction and addition permits pulled the previous day. Scrape the info for all the permits and append it to google sheets. It's successful until it has to click search and look at the results. Any help would be greatly appreciated. https://chat.lindy.ai/home/?templateId=68ac93058d698d5b7d5c5ab3
Ari A. you can't be that general with your prompt. You have to be very specific. Navigate to www.exampleurl.com Click on "Permits" Click on X Click on Y Click on Z. Things like that, otherwise it will just go off on a tangent.
That's my experience.
Here is an example of one of my computer use prompts and how specific I am with it. **Complete PDP Plan Comparison Workflow:** **Initial Setup & Navigation:** 1. Navigate to https://www.leadadvantagepro.com and wait for full page load 2. Click login button (credentials are saved) and wait for dashboard to load 3. Click search icon near To, enter client's first name, tab, then last name 4. Enter date of birth in both "From" and "To" fields, click Search 5. Click client name in results, then Quote button that's next to the Reset button, then MA & PDP button 6. Scroll all the way to the bottom of the page 6.1 Make sure the entire "Get Quote" button is in view. It should be if the "Last Updated: MM/DD/YYY by Self Service" is visible. Take a screenshot to confirm it's not being obstructed from being clicked on. 6.2 Click 'Get Quote' button, wait for quote page to load
Thank you!
Now i'm having this problem and have been stuck on how to fix it for a couple hours. It just ends the loop. "I'll help you research demolition permit applications. Let me start by navigating to the specified website. I need to use the correct computer tool. Let me navigate to the website. I notice I only have access to the State-goto tool, but I need to use the computer to navigate to the website and search for demolition permits. Let me check what computer tools are available in this session. It appears I'm in a loop cycle for processing demolition permit applications, but I don't have access to the computer tools needed to navigate to the website and perform the search."
I have had issues where my Node goes corrupted. A node is just any action or trigger or agent step etc. Delete the entire loop and start over. Copy your prompt to a text file or something so you don't lose it before you delete it. Remove skills you don't want it to use and specifically reference the skill you want it to use. For you, get rid of "Get Public URL" skill and "Use Terminal" skill, they aren't part of your workflow needs. Tell the agent to "Use Lindy Computer - Use Browser to Navigate to www.thewebsiteyouwant.com etc. Make sure you set your "Exit Loop" prompt very specifically as well so it doesn't get stuck. Hope this helps.
