Go To Web Page

Open a saved http(s) URL in the same tab. The origin bookend is the assigned page. A mid-flow step opens step.url. Both wait for load.

Use Go To Web Page to move the assigned tab to a specific http(s) URL before later steps run. It opens the URL in that tab and waits for load.

There are two places it appears:

  • The origin bookend at the start of every graph. New Automation sets this to the tab you pick. Start and Repeat navigate there with tabs.update, not a reload.
  • A mid-flow step from Add Step. That opens the URL saved on the step.

Both only wait for the tab to finish loading. They do not reload the current page.

How to add it

The origin is set when you pick a tab in Add New Automation. Picking links for For Each Link also writes the origin to that tab.

Add Step → Go To Web Page adds a mid-flow step. Type or pick an http(s) URL. Mid-flow Go To interpolates Values with {{name}}.

Not this step

Does not reload the current page — that is Refresh Page. The origin bookend is not the same card as a mid-flow step, even though both use this name.

The side panel tour shows the origin bookend. Walking through links uses origin as the listing page Start re-scrapes.

Refresh Page

Reload the current page, with optional Bypass cache.

For Each Link on Page

Run the same inner steps on each matching http(s) URL.

Type Text

Fill a picked input, with optional text from a saved value.

Save value

Store element text under a Values name for later steps.

Values

Declare names for data that later steps save or reuse.

Tab Automation is not on the Chrome Web Store yet. See how an automation is built, then come back when a listing exists.
