Commands Overview

Commands are the building blocks of your automation. Each command performs a specific action: navigating to a URL, clicking a button, filling a form, extracting data, etc.

How Commands Work

Commands are executed sequentially from top to bottom. You can nest commands inside control-flow blocks (if/else, while, for_each) to create complex logic.

Command Categories

Category	Commands	Description
Navigation	goto, go_back, go_forward, reload	Move between pages

Adding Commands

In the Visual Builder

1. Open the project in the Visual Builder.
2. Switch to the Web Automation tab.
3. Click Add at the bottom.
4. A command picker modal appears. Search or browse for the command you need.
5. Click the command to add it.

Via AI Assistant

Simply describe what you want to do in plain English. The AI will generate the appropriate commands.

Via Recording

Use the Record button to capture your browser actions as commands automatically.

Command Properties

Every command has:

• Display Name — A human-readable label (auto-generated, editable)
• Command Type — The underlying command type (e.g., click, goto)
• Parameters — Type-specific configuration
• Nested Commands — Commands that run after (or inside) this command

Variable Substitution in Commands

You can use ${variable_name} in most command parameters to inject dynamic values:

url: https://example.com/search?q=${search_term}
selector: css=.product-${product_id}
value: ${user_input}

You can also use JavaScript expressions:

${price * 1.2}
${target_url.split('/')[0]}
${Math.random() * 100}

Server-Side vs. Browser Commands

Some commands require the full desktop engine and cannot run in the browser extension’s preview mode:

Command	Type
file_operation	Server-side
process_image	Server-side
audit_accessibility	Server-side
convert_data	Server-side
save_as_pdf	Server-side
screenshot	Server-side
set_viewport_size	Server-side
set_geolocation	Server-side
context_set_offline	Server-side
wait_for_download	Server-side
http_request	Server-side
run_script	Server-side

When you run a Quick Preview in the extension, these commands are safely skipped.
