Clicking on a text in the browser

Clicking on a text in the browser

Finds and clicks an element on a web page by its visible text, with no CSS selector needed. Good for buttons, links and anything whose text is static and dependable.

Careful

For elements whose text is dynamic, or changes between runs, prefer Click with a CSS selector — it identifies the element far more precisely.

The browser, tab or iframe opening action where the click happens.

The first element found​

Click the first visible text of the element found on the page.

Click every occurrence of the visible text found on the page.

Rules and conditions​

  • Browser or page ID and Element text are both required.
  • The text search is case-sensitive.
  • If more than one element on the page carries the same text, the robot clicks the first in DOM order.
  • If no element with that text is found within the timeout, the action ends in an error.
