The type action allows you to input text into form fields, search boxes, and other text input elements.

​
Default Behavior

By default, the agent will:

  1. Clear any existing text in the target field
  2. Type the specified text
  3. Wait for the text to be fully entered

The agent handles all these steps in a single action, making the typing process smooth and efficient.

​
Syntax Variations

Basic Typing

Clears existing text and types new text

Type with Enter

Types text and simulates Enter key press

Explicit Clear

Clear and type [text] in the [field name] field

Preserve Existing Text

Appends text without clearing

​
Best Practices

  • Clearly specify the target field using its label or placeholder text
  • Use descriptive field names that match what’s visible on the page
  • Consider whether existing text should be cleared or preserved
  • Mention if Enter key press is needed after typing
