What is the Click Element Node?

The Click Element Node executes precise click actions on visible elements within the current viewport based on your natural language description. Simply describe what you want to click (like “blue search button in the upper right corner”), and the system automatically detects and clicks the element. This node simulates human clicking behavior, triggers page navigation or events, and requires no code. Click Type Options The Click Element node now supports two click types:

When Should You Use It?

• Left-click Use Cases

Use Left-click (default) when you need to: • Navigate to the next page by clicking buttons (e.g., click a login button to enter the user dashboard) • Trigger search queries by clicking search buttons in the page header • Submit forms or interact with popup menus (e.g., click “Submit” to complete data entry) • Select checkboxes, radio buttons, or dropdown options • Click links to navigate between pages

• Right-click Use Cases
