When automating the Salesforce Lighting interface, the out-of-the-box generated selectors contain specific Lightning attributes that are stable and will not change over time, thus making them very reliable and resilient to UI changes. This means the UIAutomation Activities Pack is a great choice for automating this environment. The attributes are sfl-path, sfl-name and sfl-type.
Note:
Any UiPath.UIAutomation.Activities package can be used to automate Salesforce Classic and Lightning UI interfaces through the generic UiPath browser automation support.
UiPath.UIAutomation.Activities v21.10 or above is required to create automation projects for Salesforce Lightning interface by using the specific attributes described below.

A selector identifying a search input field; the selector contains the sfl-path attribute determining the precise path of the element:

Using Standard HTML Attributes
If the Salesforce Lightning specific attributes are not required and standard HTML attributes are enough for uniquely identifying an element on a page, the selector is generated with the standard <html> strategy and may look like this:
