Handle Delete Confirmation​

1. Click Element (delete button)
   Browser ID: {{browser_id}}
   Selector: //button[@class='delete-btn']

2. Alert node:
   Browser ID: {{browser_id}}
   Action: Accept

Read and Accept Alert​

1. Alert node (Get Text):
   Browser ID: {{browser_id}}
   Action: Get Text
   Output: {{message}}

2. Alert node (Accept):
   Browser ID: {{browser_id}}
   Action: Accept

Alert Types​

JavaScript can create three types of alerts:

  • Alert - Simple message with OK button

    alert("Hello!");

  • Confirm - Message with OK and Cancel buttons

    confirm("Are you sure?");

  • Prompt - Message with text input and OK/Cancel buttons

    prompt("Enter your name:");

Tips​

  • Add a small delay before the Alert node to ensure the alert appears
  • Use Get Text to verify alert content before accepting/canceling
  • Modern websites often use custom modals instead of native alerts
  • For custom modals, use regular element interactions instead of Alert node
  • Alert, Confirm, and Prompt dialogs block all other browser interactions

Common Errors​

  • "Browser ID cannot be empty" - Connect to an Open Browser node
  • "Action must be selected" - Choose Accept, Cancel, or Get Text
  • "No alert dialog found on the page" - No alert is present. Ensure an alert appears before using this node
  • "Invalid action selected" - Choose a valid option from the dropdown
