What it does

Screenshot captures the current browser state. It can capture the viewport, a full page, or a selected element depending on settings and runtime support.

Use it when the output needs to include visual proof, not just extracted text or data.

Use it when

  • Save proof of a page state after a run.
  • Capture a chart, receipt, confirmation page, or selected element.
  • Attach a visual result to a later upload or email step.

Do not use it when

  • You need structured data; use Extract Text or Extract Data.
  • You need a PDF document; use Create PDF.
  • The page contains sensitive data that should not be stored.

Example Flow

Screenshot usually runs after the page has reached the visual state you want to capture.

  1. Open or prepare the page.
  2. Wait for the visual state.
  3. Capture the screenshot and pass the file to an upload or email Block.

Errors and fixes

Start with symptoms visible in the editor or Inspector, then check the earliest Block that produced the wrong page state, variable, or output.

The screenshot misses content.

Check
Check whether full-page capture is supported for the runtime and page.
Fix
Scroll, wait, or use an element selector for the relevant content.

The file cannot be saved in Cloud Run.

Check
Check the destination setting.
Fix
Use a cloud destination for Cloud Runs.

Local and cloud runs

Cloud supports cloud artifacts and element capture. Local capture may differ for full-page behavior, so verify visual results in the target runtime.

Blocks

Understand how Blocks connect and pass state through a Flow.

Runs and outputs
