GREAT LOTUS PYAUTO WEBInstall

Summary

Publishes a request to a remote PyAutoGUI worker to count matching DOM elements via CSS selector or XPath, waiting for a count result before proceeding.

Inputs

• topic (required) — MQTT topic to publish the request to the remote client (e.g., WP2_PC176).
• Remote Port (required) — CDP port used to route the command to the correct browser session on the worker.
• Target — CSS selector for the element to count (e.g., css=button.submit).
• XPath — XPath expression for the element to count (e.g., //button[normalize-space()='Login']).
• QoS — MQTT Quality of Service level (0, 1, or 2).
• Include Input Items — Include data from the previous node in the request payload.
• Include Input Fields — Select specific fields from the previous node to include (e.g., id,name).
• Wait For Response — Block the workflow until the remote client returns the element count result.
• Response Timeout (sec) — Maximum time to wait for the response (minimum 1 second).
• Delay Next Step (ms) — Delay in milliseconds after publishing or receiving the response.

Output shape

A single item containing the element count in the .data.count field.

The result is returned only if 'Wait For Response' is enabled; otherwise, the workflow proceeds immediately. The remote worker determines the actual count based on the provided selector or XPath.

Examples

Example 1: Wait for element count to validate a list is fully loaded.

Set 'Wait For Response' to true, target a list container with CSS selector, and set a timeout.

Example 2: Count buttons on a page to trigger a workflow branch.

Set 'Wait For Response' to true, use XPath to count buttons, and set a timeout.
