Monitor Request in the background process

By default this field waits for the request to be completed and the filler does not proceed until something changes to the element. But after turning on this option, it checks the completion of the request in the background and executes the filler next field.

After turning on this option, it checks the request in the background, then how to check whether the request has completed or not?

Next in which field do you want to check whether the request has been completed or not, you can use the option given below in the settings of the field in which you want to check.

Wait until the response status of the given request monitor fields comes

Do you want to click on an element?

This is a switch field that allows you to trigger a click action on a specific element before monitoring for requests. When enabled, the extension will click on the specified element and then wait for the network request to occur.

This is useful when:

• You need to trigger an action (like clicking a button) that initiates a network request
• The request only occurs after user interaction
• You want to automate the click and monitor the request in a single field

Enter Element Selector/Xpath

When the "Do you want to click on an element?" option is enabled, this field becomes available. Here you can specify the target element that should be clicked using either:

• CSS Selector: e.g., #submitButton, .load-data-btn, button[type="submit"]
• XPath: e.g., //button[@id='submitButton'], //div[@class='load-data-btn']

The extension will locate this element and click it before starting to monitor the network requests.

Save to Excel

This option allows you to automatically save the request response data to an Excel sheet. When enabled, the response from the monitored request will be captured and saved to your Excel file.

Column Naming Convention

The data is saved using the following naming pattern:

options.fieldName + "||REQUEST-DATA"

Example:

• If your field name is userDataRequest, the Excel column will be named: userDataRequest||REQUEST-DATA
• If your field name is apiResponse, the Excel column will be named: apiResponse||REQUEST-DATA

This makes it easy to identify which field captured the request data and allows you to use this data in subsequent fields or for record-keeping purposes.

Use Cases

• Capturing API responses for verification
• Storing dynamic data returned from server requests
• Logging request data for debugging or analysis
• Extracting specific information from network responses
