Do you know if I can access that through test complete? I've been looking at the Browser object, but I don't see anything for alerts/popups there. Most of it seems to be tied to the page.

      Object spy doesn't seem to highlight the alert at all. It'll highlight Chrome, but not the pop-up.

        Try recording a test where you click on the popup and see what TestComplete calls it in there.
