Interact with Elements

Discover how to interact with a button, link, or other elements before capturing a screenshot.

This feature is particularly useful for handling pop-up messages and notifications.

Specify Element for Interaction

You need to specify the name of the element to interact with, such as a link or button. The interaction can be specified by:

  • Text such as &click=OK
  • Name such as &click=mybutton
  • Id such as &click=#mybotton
  • Class Name such as &click=.gdpr-button

Check out our element selection examples for more details.

To interact with multiple items, repeat the click parameter such as &click=.button1&click=.button2
