Power automate desktop (record using capture mode)

So first of all, I am new to power automate.

What i want: daily logging to a web and extract csv files then send it to a folder+ rename it and connect this to power bi.

What I did: since my company is blocking a lot of things, I was limited to use the capture mode and use clicks to do the whole flow. I finished a part and my flow now is doing everything I want (except the power bi part, it is easy so no problem)

My question: Am I wasting my time?. Is there another way which is way easier and more efficient?.Although this is my second time with power automate desktop, i am proud of my self but it feels messy and not reliable ( i have around 110 action and i still have 3 other topic to cover). It is hard to fix small problems since it relies on pictures clicks and it doesn’t feel fully automated since i need to trigger it and i need to have my laptop working.

My post is long but I really wanted to express my concerns and know your answers, specially from the people who use this type of recorder.
