Hi,

Can we directly leverage the Salesforce API instead? If we could ping the service and request authentication through an API call, I think it would provide more room for automation.

It opens a web login page and we need to enter the credentials. So far I am entering the data manually. Could not automate this step. Do you have any idea on this?

    I created the script for it. You need to know the email, password, login button element locators. Now the system automatically opens the login page> fill in all the info and click the login button when the token expired

        I have already tried this. But I could only enter username. Once I click on the next button to enter password, again it asks me to enter username. I am not able to click on next button using js. Is there any other way to enter credentials.
