  • Click Count — Number of times to click; defaults to 1.
  • Delay — Delay in milliseconds between mousedown and mouseup events.

  • Timeout — Maximum wait time in milliseconds for the click action; defaults to 30000 ms.
  • Wait For Navigation — Whether to wait for page navigation event after the click; defaults to false.

Output shape

a single JSON object per input item containing the click result message, previous page URL (old_url), and new page URL (new_url, null if unchanged).

The output includes a 'session_id' field for continuing the browser session in subsequent actions. Errors may be thrown on failure unless 'Continue On Fail' is enabled.
