Navigation Bar

New Tab

Node New Tab is designed to automatically open a new tab in browser automation. It allows you to specify the URL to load and control page loading behavior precisely.

Settings

• Url: URL field for you to enter the website address you want to open in a new tab.

• Wait time (milliseconds): This setting allows you to define the wait time (in milliseconds) that the automatic process will pause after opening a new tab. The default setting is "0", which means it will proceed without waiting if the page has finished loading.

• Wait for navigation: This setting determines when the automation will continue to the next step based on the page load state. There are several options:

  • Load: Continues when the load event is fired (when the entire page has finished loading).

  • DOMContentLoaded: Continues when the DOMContentLoaded event is fired (when the HTML document has been loaded and parsed, without waiting for stylesheets, images, and subframes to finish loading).

  • Networkidle0: Resume when there are no more than 0 network connections for at least 500 ms.

  • Networkidle2: Resume when there are no more than 2 network connections for at least 500 ms.

Using

1. Open New Tab: Drag and drop the "New Tab" node into your workflow editor.

2. Set up URL: Click on the node to open its settings. Enter the URL of the website you want to open in a new tab.

3. Configure Timeout: Enter the desired timeout in milliseconds if you want to pause before taking the next action.

4. Select Navigation Event: Select the appropriate navigation event option based on when you want the process to continue.

Example

Let's say you want to open the URL https://genlogin.com and make sure it is fully loaded before moving on to the next step. Here's how you should configure it:

• Url: https://genlogin.com

• Wait time (milliseconds): 0 (default)

• Wait for navigation: Select Load to wait until the page is fully loaded.

Once configured, the automation opens the specified URL in a new tab and waits until the web page has finished loading before continuing.

Open URL

Usage is similar to New Tab, however the URL will open directly in that tab and New Tab will open a new tab

Activate Tab

The "Activate Tab" node allows you to switch between tabs in the browser. This is useful in automation processes where you need to work with multiple tabs and need to switch back and forth between them.

Settings

• Select tab number: Here, you can select the tab number you want to activate. The number "1" usually corresponds to the first tab opened.

Close Tab

Close Tab is used in automation to close a specific tab or the current tab in the browser. This helps manage extended tabs and optimize browser resource usage.

Settings

• Current tab: This option allows closing the tab you are working on.

• Select tab: If available, this option will allow you to choose a specific order number of tabs to close. The number "1" corresponds to the first tab closed.
