Switch Page
The Switch Page node switches browser focus to another open tab.
Overview
Select the tab to switch to from the "Target Page" dropdown and execute.
Usage
After dragging in the node, select the tab to switch to from the "Target Page" dropdown. The dropdown options come from:
| Option | Source |
|---|---|
| Current Page | Always present — the currently active tab |
| Initial Page | Always present — the tab that was open when the workflow started |
| Other Page Names | Determined by the "Tab Name" of upstream nodes |
Where Page Names Come From
Aside from "Current Page" and "Initial Page," the remaining options in the dropdown come from tab names configured in upstream nodes. Specifically:
- The "Tab Name" filled in upstream Open Page nodes becomes an option in the dropdown
- Some event interaction nodes (like Click, Key Press) that have "Open New Tab" enabled also require a tab name and will appear in the dropdown
In other words, which page you can switch to depends on what name it was given when it was opened upstream.
Enable "Activate Tab" to automatically bring the tab to the foreground after switching.
Parameter Reference

FAQ
Target page not found in the dropdown
Symptom: The target tab is open, but no corresponding option appears in the dropdown.
Cause: The tab was not created by an upstream node in the current workflow.
Solution: Ensure the target page was created by an Open Page node or a node with "Open New Tab" enabled in the current workflow. Manually opened tabs cannot be switched to via this node.
