Hey @rohit782192, you should be able to just type in your login and password. Are you getting any errors?

@rohit782192 There's not a native way to do this in Alteryx I would advise looking at using the Python tool and Selenium.

Hi Rohit,
Can you please give detail as to what you are trying to achieve?
Are you wanting to display a web page, log in, within the explorer box without the need for a user to login to the page?

I don't believe this is possible within the Explorer Box functionality, you would need to log in instead. You can scrape information from a web page using the download tool however. There is a great post explaining how to make your own connector with this functionality within Alteryx here:
https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Knowledge-Base/Guide-to-Creating-Your-Own-Connecto...

Depending on what information you are wanting to retrieve, and how you are wanting to display it to a user of your workflow, this may be the best way to go.

 

Cheers,

TheOC

Any Website or Google Search to pass value.

Are you wanting to scrape that website for information or just display the website in the Designer?
