Automatic Clicker: Auto Click a Detected Keyword or Any Element by CSS/XPath Selector

Auto refresh is great for reloading a page, but a lot of workflows need one more step after the reload — clicking a button, opening a link, or pressing "Accept" the moment something appears. Doing that by hand defeats the point of automating the refresh in the first place.

The Automatic Clicker in Auto Refresh handles that for you. On the Detect Keyword tab you get two ways to click automatically after each page load: Auto click detected keyword (click the link or element that contains your keyword) and Click element by selector (click one or more elements by CSS selector or XPath).

Option 1: Auto click detected keyword

1. Open the extension and go to the Detect Keyword tab.
2. Type the keyword you want to look for — for example the text on a button or link (Book now, In stock, Accept).
3. Under Automatic Clicker, tick Auto click detected keyword. After every reload, if the keyword is found on the page, the extension clicks the element that contains it.
4. Optionally tick Open the clicked link in a new tab so the click opens in a fresh tab instead of navigating away, and allow the click to repeat on each reload if you need it to fire every cycle.
5. Click Save.

Option 2: Click element by selector (CSS / XPath)

1. On the Detect Keyword tab, tick Click element by selector.
2. Add one or more CSS selectors or XPath expressions for the elements you want clicked. After each page load the extension finds them and clicks them in order.
3. Not sure of the selector? Use the built-in element picker — click the picker icon, then click the element on the page to capture its selector, and reopen the extension to review it.
4. Click Save. This method runs on every reload and is independent of keyword detection, so it works even when there is no keyword to match.

Things worth knowing

• Keyword vs. selector: use Auto click detected keyword when the thing to click contains readable text; use Click element by selector when you need a precise, structural target (an icon, an unlabeled button, the second row of a table).
• Selectors click in order, so you can chain a few steps — for example open a panel, then click the confirm button inside it.
• You can test a selector against the live page before saving, so you know it matches exactly one element and not the wrong one.
• Combine with the timer: set your refresh interval on the Time Interval tab, and the Automatic Clicker runs its click after each of those reloads.

A real-world example

Suppose you are refreshing a booking page that occasionally shows a Reserve button when a slot opens up. Put Reserve in the keyword box and turn on Auto click detected keyword: every reload where the button appears, the extension clicks it for you — no need to stare at the screen waiting to pounce. If you would rather keep your current tab and open the result separately, enable Open the clicked link in a new tab so the click does not navigate you away from the page you are monitoring. For a page that presents the same button in the same place each time, Click element by selector is even more reliable: point it at the button’s CSS selector and it clicks that exact element on every load, regardless of the text inside it.

Keyword or selector — a quick guide

• Choose keyword clicking when the target is defined by its words — a link or button whose visible text you can name reliably, even if its position moves.
• Choose selector clicking when the target is defined by its place in the page — an icon with no text, a button that only shows an image, or one specific cell in a list. Selectors are also the way to go when you need several clicks to happen in a set order.
• Not sure the selector is right? Fire a single test click against the live page first. If it matches nothing (or the wrong element) you will know before you rely on it across hundreds of reloads.
• Both can run alongside the timer. The interval on the Time Interval tab controls how often the page reloads; the Automatic Clicker simply performs its click after each of those reloads.

Between clicking by keyword and clicking by selector, the Automatic Clicker turns Auto Refresh into a small hands-free automation: reload the page, find what matters, and click it — over and over — without you sitting there to do it. Set it up once, hit Save, and let the extension handle the repetitive clicking for you.
