Enter text into an input field

To type text into a form field, use the Enter text step. You can type a static string, or pass data in from an earlier step.

Use the Enter text step

Open the step finder, search for enter, and add the Enter text step.

1. Click Select and choose the input field.
2. Type the text into Text, or click Insert data to pass data in from an earlier step.

Insert line breaks

Some fields accept a regular Return key as a line break, others need a different key combination (for example Shift + Enter). Use the Custom line break setting to map your line breaks to whatever the site expects. For a worked example, see How to insert line breaks when entering text.

1. In the Enter text step, click Custom line break.
2. Record the key sequence the site uses for line breaks.
3. Use regular line breaks in the Text field. axiom.ai converts them to the recorded sequence at runtime.

Enter text with JavaScript

For cases where the Enter text step doesn't fit, the Write javascript step can set field values directly. Use this as a last resort.
