How to use:
- Drag and drop the "Execute Script" activity onto the workflow.
- Configure the "Script" property by browsing the path of the JavaScript file to be executed on the web page.
- Optionally, configure the "Delay" to introduce a wait time before executing the "Execute Script" activity.
- Execute the workflow to inject and execute the specified JavaScript on the web page.
Example: Consider an example where the "Execute Script" activity is used to inject a JavaScript file named "customScript.js" into a web page:
Execute Script:
Script: "C:\Scripts\customScript.js"
Delay: 2
In this example, the activity injects and executes the "customScript.js" file on the web page. The specified delay of 2 seconds provides time for the web page to load before executing the script.
