Gets the text of the specified element

Selector

  • for the element with text

Store result in variable

  • Name of the variable to store the text

Use blank text if element is missing

  • If selected, Browserflow will use an empty string as the element's text if the element does not exist

    • By default, Browserflow will wait for the element to appear and exit with an error if the element cannot be found

  • This is useful when an element appears inconsistently (e.g. when looping through a list of elements where some elements contain a particular piece of data but others don't)
