Clicking items in the menubar

Questions & Suggestions
1

I’d like to click a drop down menu item called “Reports” and from there it will click “Marketing” and then “Monthly Marketing Reports” - this will open a new tab for me to view my reports. I have read the https://wiki.keyboardmaestro.com/Frequently_Asked_Questions#How_can_I_select_Status_Menus but not sure I understand.

I do have the names of items to click. I have tried to use Click at Found Image but not sure what do add there. Do I just record it?

Thanks.

Hi @ccstone

It’s an in-house data warehouse app.

Drop-down menu as in when you go to KM, you can click “File” and then click “Export Actions…”

Thanks

Hey @skyblue

Try changing “Dropbox” in this script to the name of your app.

Then run it from the Script Editor.app.

tell application "System Events"
  tell UI element "Dropbox"
    tell menu bar 2
      tell menu bar item 1
        perform action "AXPress"
      end tell
    end tell
  end tell
end tell

If it works then use a Execute an AppleScript action in Keyboard Maestro.
