Definition and Usage

The Wait web page content command is used to instruct the workflow to wait for the specified element or text to appear or disappear on the web page before proceeding to the next step in the workflow.

The command works by providing an element selector or text for the workflow to watch for. Depending on the configuration, it can then pause the workflow until the element appears or disappears, or it can time out and send an error if the element or text does not appear or disappear in the set timeframe.
