Trigger Event
Fire browser and custom events on webpage elements. Use this action to simulate user interactions, trigger JavaScript listeners, and interact with dynamic UI components.
Inputs
☐ Prompt / Description (Required)
A clear and concise instruction describing what this step should do. This helps the AI debug and re-trigger the event if needed.
Good Example: "Trigger a 'change' event on the dropdown menu to apply the selected option."
Bad Example: "Make sure the dropdown works by doing whatever is needed to activate it."
Why it’s bad? Too vague, lacks specificity about the event and the target element.
☐ Element Selector (Required)
Define the element where the event should be triggered using one of the following methods:
CSS Selector
Use standard CSS selectors to identify the element.
XPath
Use an XPath expression to precisely locate the element.
☐ Event Type (Required)
Choose from standard browser events:
- Mouse Events:
click,dblclick,mousedown,mouseup,mouseenter,mouseleave - Form Events:
focus,blur,change,input,submit - Keyboard Events:
keydown,keyup - Custom Events: Supported by the webpage
Usage Example
Notes
- The Prompt / Description is required to help AI debug and adjust the event trigger if needed.
- Ensure the selected event matches the expected behavior of the element (e.g., use
changefor dropdowns,clickfor buttons). - Some events might require additional scripting if the website relies on JavaScript listeners that do not respond to synthetic events.
