Refresh Page

Reload the assigned tab before the next step. Enable Bypass cache when needed and add Repeat for recurring reloads.

Use Refresh Page when the current page needs to reload before the next step or cycle. It reloads whichever page this tab is on and does not open a different URL.

How to add it

Add Step → Refresh Page. Optional Bypass cache is on this step only. Leave it off when a normal reload is enough. Turn it on when a dashboard keeps serving a cached shell.

For recurring reloads, add Refresh Page and turn on Repeat at the End block. Repeat is off in a new automation; enabling it uses a 30-second Fixed wait. The wait is subject to Chrome alarm scheduling, not an exact reload interval. Repeat can also stop after a cycle count or duration.

To navigate to a specific address, use Go To Web Page. To inspect the page after reloading, add If / Else or Wait / Delay Until. Refresh Page itself only reloads.

Chrome UI pages, extension pages, and the Chrome Web Store cannot be reloaded by this step.
