How could I click a button in an application?

I have configured a BTT shortcut to schedule time to send an email with Microsoft Outlook.
When activating this feature, the popup window below opens up.

The time suggested is usually ok for me, so I only need to click "Aceptar" button.
I would like to automate this step too, but I don't know how.
I tried using "tab" key then pressing "enter", but the tab key does not work in this popup.
Is there any action in BTT that I could use to click the button?
Thanks

Maybe there are better ways, but

If the window always appears in the same place, you can record an absolute click relative to the active window or screen.
It would also be possible to find the button with image recognition. Then the position of the button does not matter.

Thanks Frank. The position changes, depending on where the window of the email is at that moment.
Wow! I didn't know about the image recognition feature!! It's awesome, I'm trying it now.
Thanks a lot

Hey @superapp, for me the tab works (Outlook v16.93.2 (25012611) and macOS 14.7.2 (23H311) ), however in order tab to work, the following macOS config should be enabled:

Please note that once a button is selected you need to use Space for confirmation and not Enter.
