How do I use the Page Action Recorder?

The Page Action Recorder makes it particularly easy to record page actions in the browser. Without time-consuming selector searches, the tool automatically documents each of your clicks and creates a complete click sequence – ideal for checking application processes or logins.

What is the tool designed for?

The Page Action Recorder is designed to automatically record interactive steps on a website. It simulates the behaviour of a user who ‘clicks through a page’. Typical use cases are:

  • Login processes
  • Form entries
  • Navigation or click paths
  • Application routes

The tool takes care of selecting and storing the necessary CSS selectors – without any manual input.

Preparation: What do I need to do before recording

Before you start recording, proceed as follows:
  1. Open the domain
    Open the website where you want to create the page action in your browser.
  2. Start the Audit browser extension
    Click on the Audit extension icon in your browser bar.
  3. Log in with your dashboard credentials

  4. Open Click Action Recorder
    Navigate to the menu item ‘Report Page Actions’.
  5. Create click action
    Click on ‘Create Click Action’ to start the recorder.

Recording: How does recording work?

  1. Start recording
    Click on ‘Start recording’. As soon as the red dot appears, recording is active. Now switch to the tab with the open website.


  2. Perform actions
    Perform the desired action – e.g. enter login details, click on buttons or selection menus.
  3. Automatic recording
    The recorder logs every interaction in real time – including the corresponding selectors.
  4. Stop or pause recording
    Once you are finished, click on ‘Stop recording’. It is also possible to pause the recording and continue later.

Add check steps (optional, but important!)

Checks are not recorded automatically and must be added manually where you want to initiate a page check in the report:
  1. Click on the plus symbol (+) in the recorder.
  2. Select ‘Perform check on current page’.
  3. Give it a meaningful title – e.g. ‘Login Required’

  4. This check will then appear with the selected title in the dashboard in your report results.

Add delays (for loading times)

If the page reloads or content appears dynamically after certain actions (e.g. login), it is advisable to insert delays. These prevent the recorder from continuing too quickly and causing errors. You can select the duration of the delay in milliseconds. We recommend using a value of 5000-1000 ms if necessary.

Test action

  1. Click on "Test"
  2. The action will automatically play out in a new window
  3. In the recorder, the green border shows you which step the process is currently at

If an error occurs, the test stops at the corresponding step and marks it with an error message.

In this case:

  • Edit the relevant step in the recorder by clicking on the pencil icon.
  • Adjust the selector manually if necessary (e.g. for dynamic IDs).

Finish and save

  1. If everything works, click on ‘Save’
  2. The action is now stored in the system and will be executed automatically during the next report scan
  3. For immediate results, a report can also be restarted manually
