Using Variables in Conditions

You can use variables in the parameters of this command by inserting them with the {x} format. For example, you might use a variable to dynamically specify a window object that was stored from a previous action. When using variables, ensure that the variable type matches what is expected by the parameter (such as a window object for the Window parameter).


Notes

  • The window must be active and visible for this command to work properly

  • The element detection is based on visual recognition, so changes in the UI appearance might affect the reliability of this command

  • This command is commonly used in conditional branches to determine the next steps in a workflow based on UI state

  • If the window is minimized or covered by other windows, the element may not be detected even if it exists
