How to Use It

1. Identify the content you want to replace on the webpage
2. Set the target content - the exact text you want to find
3. Set the replacement content - what you want to replace it with
4. Run the workflow - the node finds and replaces the content automatically

Simple Example:

{
  "targetContent": "Old Company Name",
  "replacementContent": "New Company Name",
  "caseSensitive": false,
  "replaceAll": true
}

🔍 Technical Details

Pattern Matching: You can use simple text matching or advanced patterns (regular expressions) to find content.

Selective Replacement: Target specific areas of the page by using CSS selectors to limit where replacements happen.

Backup and Undo: The node can create backups of original content so you can undo changes if needed.

Limitations:

• Cannot replace content in password fields or secure elements
• Some websites may prevent content modification
• Changes are temporary and reset when you refresh the page

Try It Yourself

Common Issues:

• No replacements made? Check that the target content exactly matches what’s on the page
• Formatting lost? The replacement might be changing HTML structure - try simpler text replacements
• Changes disappear? Content replacement is temporary - changes reset when you refresh the page
