Click

Adding the Click action to a botflow sends a left mouse click to a target, such as a button. Different settings are available depending on the type of target selected.

Using the Click action, you can:

  • Simulate a mouse click on a targeted application.
  • Work with information in an online data form.

Some examples of target applications for the Click action using the Target Selector are:

  • Calculator buttons.
  • Notepad.
  • Many application menu commands, such as the File menu item in Microsoft Word or Excel.
