Wait for navigation

Wait for navigation

Waits for a navigation already under way in the browser to finish before moving to the next action. Useful after an interaction that causes a redirect or a page reload.

Tip

This one earns its keep after clicking a form's submit button, or a link that redirects: it guarantees the new page is fully loaded before the automation carries on.


Options

Browser or page ID

The browser, tab or iframe opening action where the navigation is happening.

Loading type

What counts as the navigation having finished:

  • networkidle — no active requests for 500ms (the default, and the most thorough)
  • domcontentloaded — the HTML is loaded and parsed
  • load — every resource is loaded

Timeout

How long, in milliseconds, to wait for the navigation before raising an error. The default is 30000. Use 0 for no limit.

Returns

This action has no returns.

Rules and conditions

  • Browser or page ID is required.
  • If the navigation does not finish within the timeout, the action ends in an error.
