Click Element | Leapwork Docs

The Click Web Element block simulates a user click on an element in a Salesforce web application, such as a button, tab, or item in a grid or list. The block is created automatically by the Salesforce Fusion Recorder when you click an element during recording. When executed, the target element is scrolled into view and clicked.

This block only works in browser windows that were launched using the Salesforce Login block or within an active Salesforce recording session.

Note: The screenshot on this page uses the Elegance Design, introduced in 2025.3. If you are using an earlier version, your layout may look different.

Quick-start

Start the Salesforce Fusion Recorder and record your scenario. When you click a target element in the Salesforce UI, a Click Web Element block is automatically added to the recording flow.
Save and close the Fusion Recorder so the recorded flow, including the Click Web Element block is converted into a Studio flow.
Run the flow from Studio when it’s ready.

Building block parameters

Parameters

Block header: Shows the title of the Click Web Element block, typically based on the clicked element (for example, Click Save). You can rename it at any time by double-clicking the header and entering a new title to keep flows readable and well organized.
Fail: Triggers if the target element cannot be found or clicked within the allowed time. You can connect this output to a Fail block or to an alternate branch to implement error handling, retries, or recovery logic.
Default timeout: Controls how the timeout for this block is determined:
- When the Default timeout checkbox is not selected, the block uses a fixed timeout of 10 seconds, unless you override it via Timeout.
- When the checkbox is selected, the block uses the Default timeout value defined in the flow settings for the current flow.
Timeout: Specifies the maximum time the block will spend trying to find and click the target element before giving up and triggering the Fail output. This timeout applies only to this block.
Every case also has a separate global timeout configured in the Settings panel; if the entire case runs longer than that global timeout, the case is cancelled regardless of this block’s own timeout settings.
