Purpose
Use Wait for Text when visible copy is a better readiness signal than a selector, such as Results, Reviews, or No items found.
How it works
- Searches the whole page by default.
- Can limit the search to one selector.
- Continues when the text appears or fails when timeout is reached.
Configuration fields
| Field | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Text to Wait For | Yes | - | Exact text or phrase to detect. |
| Search Within Element | No | - | Optional selector that limits the text search scope. |
| Timeout | No | 30 | Maximum seconds to wait. |
Usage notes
- Use text that is stable across refreshes and regions.
- Scope the wait with a selector when the phrase appears in unrelated page areas.
- For case-sensitive branching, use Text Contains instead.
