Scroll

The Scroll step enables Snappit to programmatically scroll the page or a specific element in a given direction. This is useful for revealing hidden content, triggering lazy loading, or preparing the page for further interactions.

Snappit Scroll Step​

🖱️ Purpose​

This step allows workflows to simulate scrolling actions on either the entire window or a specific target element, making it easier to bring content into view or trigger UI changes that depend on scroll position.

🧭 Behavior​

  • Accepts an optional Target to scroll a specific element
  • If no target is provided, scrolls the browser window
  • Supports four scroll directions: Up, Down, Left, and Right
  • Uses smooth scrolling for more natural behavior

✅ Use Cases​

  • Scrolling to reveal hidden elements
  • Triggering infinite scroll or lazy-loaded content
  • Adjusting scroll position before performing clicks or data extraction
  • Navigating horizontally scrollable UI sections

The Scroll step adds visual navigation control to Snappit workflows, allowing automation to dynamically adjust what is visible on the screen before continuing with other actions.
