Click Element

The Click Web Element block is used to simulate a user clicking an element, such as a button, tab, or interactive component, within a Salesforce web application. It is automatically generated when the user performs a click action during recording with the Salesforce Fusion Recorder.

Note: This block works only in browser windows launched via the Salesforce Login block or within an active Salesforce recording session.

When executed, the target element is automatically scrolled into view and clicked. Fully expanded, the Salesforce Click Web Element block shows the following properties:

The Block Header

The green input connector at the top left triggers the block’s execution when the automation flow reaches this step.

The green output connector activates once the click action has been successfully completed.

The block’s title reflects the name of the clicked element (e.g., “Click Save”) and can be renamed by double-clicking the header. This is useful for keeping flows readable and organized.

Fail

This connector is triggered if the target element cannot be found or clicked within the timeout period. It can be used to define alternate paths, error handling, or recovery logic.

Default timeout

If the Default Timeout property checkbox is not selected, then the timeout value is 10 seconds. If the property checkbox is selected, then the Default timeout value selected in the flow settings will be applicable.

Timeout

The maximum time spent extracting the specified information before giving up and triggering the Fail connector (see above).

Note: All cases have a “global timeout” that can be configured in the “Settings” panel. This is unrelated to the timeout of a single building block. However, a running case will automatically be cancelled if it runs for longer than the global timeout.
