The "buttons" on the web-page, therefore need to stay at the same spots on your screen for this to work. In addition, your browser can't move its physical position on your screen after the automation begins, because you're literally telling the computer to press two buttons at fixed X,Y pixel coordinates. In other words, you can't be doing something else on your computer at the same time this automation is running. IMPORTANT - this automation does NOT work in the background. clicking two buttons or links within in a web-page, with a user-defined delay between each click.Īll this is, is a slight modification of what was described over in this thread - this one being for two website "buttons" rather than one. The following steps are a solution for automating the repeat clicking of a mouse, back and forth, at two different fixed positions within a web page - i.e. I would need a few seconds of delay before the loop repeats, which I presume I could do with a final "w:" in that line. Anyone know how I could do that in Script Editor? The command line is: cliclick c:132,286 w:100 c:132,286 w:5000 c:1100,238

BUT - I don't know code and need a way for this terminal command to repeat "x" amount of times. UPDATE: I just downloaded "cliclick" and figured out how do both clicks as a terminal command, with the proper delays. I tried the markashworth workaround as detailed here - which also doesn't seem to work. Automator, Chrome and System Events are all checked within there (among other stuff of course). I do have accessibility set up, in system preferences > security & privacy > privacy > accessibility. I get the error "application Chrome is not running when it is expected to." It also never lists mouse clicks for some reason. I tried building a Watch Me Do workflow, in Automator, but can't seem to get it to work.
I presume this could be done with an automation to press the mouse button from two separate pixel coordinates, with delay, so long as the browser window doesn't move - unless there's a better way.
Looking for a quick and dirty way to automate this mundane activity.
