Click

The Click node simulates a mouse click, supporting single-click and double-click.

Overview

Based on native browser event simulation, fires only on the first matching element. Prefers calling the element's element.click() native method (the most reliable path); if unavailable, manually constructs a full event chain: focus → pointerdown/mousedown → pointerup/mouseup → touchend → click.

Quick Start

The following example demonstrates a complete workflow triggered via Context Menu:

• Trigger: Context Menu — right-click on a matching page to start the workflow
• Action: Click — click the #prepare-click button on the page
• Execution Page: https://jtcrpa.com/test/index.html

When the workflow runs, first right-click on the matching page and select the menu item to start, then the Click node triggers a click on the target button #prepare-click.

tip

If the click action opens a new page (e.g., a link with target="_blank" or window.open()), enable the "Open New Tab" toggle; otherwise, the new page may be blocked by the browser.

FAQ

Page doesn't respond after clicking

Symptom: Execution log shows the click succeeded, but the page shows no change.

Cause: The selector hit the wrong element; or the page uses event delegation with listeners bound to parent elements.

Solution: Run document.querySelector('your selector').click() in the DevTools Console to verify. If manual clicking works but the node doesn't, try adding a Wait Element node before the click.
