Purpose
Use Type Text for search boxes, location fields, login-free filters, and forms that reveal results after submit.
How it works
- Finds the configured input or textarea.
- Clears the field first unless disabled.
- Types the configured text into the element.
- When multiple texts are provided, the downstream graph runs once per text value.
- Loop Continue advances to the next text value; after the final value it follows its outgoing connection.
Configuration fields
| Field | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Selector | Yes | - | CSS selector or XPath for the input element. |
| Text | No | - | The exact text to enter for a single-input run. |
| Multiple Texts | No | - | One text value per line. Use this when the same form should run repeatedly for many search terms, locations, or filters. |
| Clear first | No | true | Whether to clear the field before typing. |
Usage notes
- Use a Click block after Type Text when the site requires a submit button.
- Some autocomplete fields need a short Sleep or a Wait for Text after typing.
- For multiple texts, add reset steps such as Go Back, Refresh, Navigate, Clear, or Inject JavaScript before Loop Continue so the input exists again for the next value.
- Nested multi-input workflows close the innermost active loop first, so use one Loop Continue block per loop level.
- Avoid automating private or authenticated forms unless you have explicit permission.
