How the “Go to page” step works
When you add a “go to page” step, TaskMagic is expecting you will either enter the URL your automation should go to or you are providing a variable which will be a URL we should go to.
What does it do?
When you add a “go to page” step, TaskMagic is expecting you will either enter the URL your automation should go to or you are providing a variable which will be a URL we should go to.
http or https Using Go to page
In this example we use go to page to go from one URL to the next. Although this example is very bare you may want to record some actions on one page then go to another one and do more. For example, go to chat.openai.com, type something, scrape the response then go to wordpress to enter the scraped content as a blog post. You can record a go to page step, then these actions then add another go to page step to continue on a different website
This automation will go from google.com to yahoo.com
The steps
Playing
Use a variable with a go to page step
There are two ways you are going to use a variable in the go to page step. The variable is either going to be the entire URL or its going to add something to the URL which causes the browser to load a different/specific page. In this example, we are going to navigate to a specific instagram profile username
If this is our google sheet data:
we are either going to use @username or @Full URL as the value for the go to page step
After we connect our trigger (or setup whatever else is getting us the variable) we can add this to our step
ADD to URL
since Instagram displays usernames based on whatever comes after instagram.com/ we can just add that to the URL to load the exact page we want. If username is google, when this runs its going to be changed to https://instagram.com/google that way your flow is capable of doing the same action across multiple different pages or even scenarios
REPLACE entire URL
Since this will replace with the entire instagram url of the user we can just go directly here.
