Element Exists

Check if an element exists in the DOM

If the element exists, the process will execute the node connected to the first output. If not, it will execute the node connected to the Else output.

Element Selector

Refer to how to use the selector at Element Selector.

Number of Attempts

Select the number of times you want to check the element based on the selector

Retry Time Limit

The retry time, default is 0.5 seconds.

Else

The output connected to a node when the element is not found

Throw Error if Not Exists

Throw an error instead of executing the Else output

Practical Example

Here, I want to check if the element containing the email input field exists after clicking the Log in button to perform the email input action in the w3schools login scenario

First, I will configure the Click element node to click the Login button

Then, I will configure the Element Exists node to check if the email input field exists. I enter the Element Selector for the email input field into the node. To account for cases where the element does not yet exist, I want to try 2 more times, so I will set Number of Attempts to 2, and for each attempt, I want to check within 2 seconds, so I will set Retry Time Limit to 2. Next, if the element does not exist, I want to perform a page reload action, so I will not select Throw Error if Not Exists

Next, when the element exists, I will perform the action of entering the email into the email field using the Press Key node

If the element does not exist, I will use the Reload Tab node

The node cluster will look like this

When running the node cluster, the process checks and finds that the email input field has appeared, so it performs the input action
