Use Type Text to fill a search box or form field with fixed text or a saved value. You pick the field. Optional Enter follows the page’s normal behavior: it can submit a form or insert a newline in a text area. The step does not wait for the next page.
How to add it
Add Step → Type Text. Pick on page writes the selector. Type the text, or insert a saved name as {{name}}. Names come from the sheet Values list. Save Value writes the live value the token uses.
If the selector matches many nodes, you can target a specific occurrence.
Use Wait / Delay after Type if the next step needs the page to settle. Use Click Element for a non-input control.
Browser input and retry
Text areas and text, search, telephone, URL, and password inputs use Chrome’s debugger to replace the whole field value. Chrome displays a debugging notice while attached. This does not activate tabs or focus or restore windows. Email, numeric/date inputs, selects, and editable page regions keep their existing behavior.
The upgraded fields use native edit events. A page that responds only when a field loses focus may update later; Type Text does not force that focus change. Read-only, disabled, hidden, over-length, or rejected text pauses the workflow before later actions.
Resume preserves completed typing and Enter and retries pending work. If delivery was uncertain, the error explains that retrying may repeat that interaction. Saved steps containing a follow-up Click keep it on the original page; use separate steps for work after navigation. Explicit form targets opening another tab or window are rejected; website scripts can still open windows.
Limits and related controls
Use Click Element for a non-input control, or Press Key to send a key without filling text. Add Wait / Delay when the following step needs the page to finish responding.
