Submit Form

In this section, we will guide you on how to use the Submit Form block.

Use Cases

The Submit Form function is a common operation in RPA, simulating the action of clicking the “Submit” button on a computer interface to trigger form submission.

Common use cases:

  • Online Form Submission:
    • Submitting various online applications, such as loan applications and reimbursement requests.
    • Online surveys.
    • Product order submission.
  • System Data Entry:
    • Entering data into various systems and submitting it for saving.

How It Works

To use this block, the target element must be nested within a form element. For example:

<form>
  <div>
    <label for="name">Name: </label>
    <input type="text" name="name" />
  </div>
  <div>
    <label for="email">Email: </label>
    <input type="email" name="email" />
  </div>
  <div>
    <button type="submit">Subscribe</button>
  </div>
</form>

This block is essentially syntactic sugar that packages multiple steps together for easier usage. When you select any element within a form, it will automatically search upward to find the form element or locate the submit button and simulate a form submission.

More Settings

In additional settings, you can control whether to enable simulated human behavior and whether a new tab should appear after interaction.
