Touch

Click or tap an Element or screen position.

Touch clicks or taps a control. Use it for buttons, links, checkboxes, and other interactive Elements. Touch waits for the Element to be ready, scrolls it into view, then clicks.

Prefer Element mode for durable Flows. Use position mode only when the target has no stable Element yet.

Touch Test Step

When to use it

• Click a button, link, or other control after you have defined an Element.

• Open a mobile menu before a later step when the control is hidden on a small viewport.

• Use Mode Event when an overlay sits over the Element.

For hover menus, use Hover first. For holding a press, use Touch and Hold.

Configure

Basics

Field	What to set
Type	Element (default) or position
Element	The Element to click (Element type)
Position Type	Percentage (default) or Pixel (position type)
X / Y	Where to click when Type is position

Advanced

Field	What to set
Modifiers	Optional Shift, Ctrl, Windows, or Alt held during the click
Mode	Area (default) clicks the visible target area. Event sends the click to the Element directly, which helps with stubborn overlays
X Offset / Y Offset	Fine-tune the click point on the Element (Center by default)
How fast is this typically?	Timeout Override (Fast, Slow, Very Slow)
Status on fail	Failed Status
When should screenshots be taken?	Always (default) or On Failures

Pro tip: You usually do not need a Wait or Scroll before Touch. Touch already waits for the Element and scrolls it to the centre before clicking.
