💥 Breaking Changes

• Flow Control: Changed the behavior of the "Return" function block.

Network Requests

With this function block, you can easily retrieve data from or submit data to a server. Additionally, you can call third-party APIs to implement specific features.

Show Notifications

You can now customize show notifications, which is particularly useful in scenarios like displaying alerts during exceptions. If that’s not enough, you can also play audio to draw attention.

In addition to online audio, you can also use local audio. To use it, enable the option for the extension to access file paths:

1. Go to the chrome://extensions/ page.
2. Find the Tapicker extension and click the “Details” button.
3. Enable the “Allow access to file URLs” option.

On macOS, the file path looks like this:

file:///Users/admin/Downloads/rings.mp3

On Windows, the file path looks like this:

file:///D:/Downloads/rings.mp3

Flow Control

In terms of flow control, we have added "Resume" and "Stop" function blocks for more precise control.

Additionally, we have modified the behavior of the "Return" function block. Previously, the "Return" action would stop the task globally; now, it is limited to a local return.

Example

• Before - When reaching step 3, it would return globally, stopping the task.
• After - When reaching step 3, it will return locally, ignoring step 4 while step 5 continues to execute.

💡 Tip
If you want the before behavior, use “Stop” instead.

Print Logs

To facilitate debugging workflows, we have added this function block.

If you need to print Array or JSON variables, please convert them to a string first:

Product Info: {{@vars.info|toString()}}

Otherwise, you will not see the details of the variables.

Form Interaction

To make it easier to tick checkboxes, I added the "Tick Checkbox" function block. While you could achieve this using "Click Element" before, it required checking the checkbox status to prevent unchecking.

Data Processing

You can construct dynamic Array or JSON data like this:

{
  "Name": "Nick",
  "Age": {{@vars.Age}}
}

Data Transform

Now you can flexibly transfrom various data types.

Summary

Tapicker v5.10.8 introduces powerful new features and optimizations aimed at enhancing user experience. The new network request and show notification features provide more flexibility in interaction. We look forward to your feedback for continuous improvement!
