Using Variables in Conditions
You can use variables for any parameter by clicking the {x} icon next to the input field. This allows you to dynamically set values such as which web page to interact with or specific timing parameters based on previous steps in your workflow.
Notes
Before using this command, ensure that the web page is properly loaded and the target element is visible and interactive.
The "Simulate human clicks" option is recommended for most scenarios as it mimics natural user interaction and helps avoid detection by anti-bot systems.
If the element is not found within the specified timeout period, the command will result in an error.
Using appropriate offsets can be helpful when clicking on specific parts of complex elements that contain multiple interactive areas.
Consider using longer wait times after execution when clicking triggers page loads or UI updates.
