How to Use It

1. Set the target URL - Enter the web address you want to visit
2. Choose navigation method - Current tab, new tab, or new window
3. Run the workflow - The node navigates to the URL and waits for it to load
4. Continue processing - Your workflow continues on the new page

Simple Example:

{
  "targetUrl": "https://example.com/products",
  "navigationMethod": "current-tab",
  "waitForLoad": true
}

🔍 Technical Details

Navigation Methods:

• Current Tab: Replaces the current page (like clicking a link)
• New Tab: Opens in a new browser tab (keeps original page open)
• New Window: Opens in a completely new browser window

Wait Options:

• Wait for Load: Ensures the page is fully loaded before continuing
• Wait for Element: Waits for a specific element to appear (useful for dynamic content)

Error Handling: The node automatically retries failed navigation and can use fallback URLs if the primary URL doesn’t work.
