Automation Steps

# Automation Steps

Every command in HARPA is a sequence of automation steps that are run one by one. And each step is designed to perform a single function. HARPA offers 10+ automation step types that can be used in creating custom commands, and the list grows release to release.

To add a step to your custom command, press ADD STEP button:

If you are new to Custom Commands, focus on SAY, ASK, GPT steps first.

Then pick the step type to create and add to your new command:

• SAY, ASK, GPT - these steps are used to send messages to chat, ask for parameter values, and send AI requests.
• NAVIGATE - navigates opened tab to a specific URL.
• WAIT - pauses command execution until page stops updating, text or element appears on the page, JavaScript function returns true, or a timeout in milliseconds is reached.
• REQUEST - sends data to a Webhook, calls remote API or fetches web page HTML.
• CLICK, PASTE, SCROLL - click page elements and insert text into page forms and inputs.
• EXTRACT - retrieves content of web elements on page.
• GROUP, LOOP, JUMP - group steps together, loop over data items and control command flow.
• RUN JS - runs JavaScript code in scope of the opened web page.
• COMMAND - calls other commands; allows building higher-order commands.
• CLEAR, STOP - erase chat history or terminate current command.
• CALC - sets or modifies parameter values, merges lists, extracts data.

Most steps support labels, conditions and silencing:

• When silenced, steps will not print messages to chat.
• When labeled, steps can be jumped to using JUMP step.
• When conditioned, steps will only run if the condition is met.
