Actions Overview

Aiviro Editor provides roughly 65 actions organized into thematic groups. Pick a group below — each page lists its commands with their parameters.

Adding an action​

MethodHow
Context menuRight-click an element in the robot live view to get the actions that can target it, or right-click in the Commands tree to insert a non-visual action.
Add buttonThe ⊕ Add button in the Commands panel header.
SearchStart typing in the search box at the top of the actions menu. Results show each action's menu path, and Enter inserts the highlighted one.
ShortcutThe most common actions have direct shortcuts — see Keyboard shortcuts.

Pinned actions — Click, Double click, Key Shortcut, Type Text, Get, Wait For and Section — appear at the top of the menu, above the group hierarchy, because they cover most of everyday scenario building.

note

The menu only offers actions that work with the connected robot. If an action you expect is missing, check which robot type is connected — see Action availability per robot type.

Parameters every action shares​

Run Action​

Controls whether and when the action executes. This replaces the simple enabled/disabled flag from earlier versions.

ValueBehaviour
EnabledRuns normally. The default.
DisabledSkipped entirely — the way to park an action without deleting it.
Enabled (Test)Runs only in the Test environment.
Enabled (Prod)Runs only in the Production environment.
Run AlwaysRuns even when a previous action failed — use it for cleanup that must happen regardless.
Run on FailureRuns only when a previous action failed — use it for recovery or error reporting.

The environment is switched with the Environment toggle in the main toolbar, so one scenario can behave differently in test and in production without branching.

tip

Run Always and Run on Failure replace most defensive Condition blocks. A typical ending is: Send As Email with Run on Failure to report the problem, plus Close All Windows with Run Always to leave the machine clean.

Required success​

Present on every action that searches the screen. When on (the default), a failure stops the scenario. When off, the failure is logged and the scenario continues — useful for optional dialogs such as a cookie banner that only sometimes appears.

Wait after​

How long to pause once the action has finished: Default (the value from Settings → General → Default wait after timeout), None, or a custom number of seconds.

Advanced options​

Less common parameters are collapsed into an Advanced options group on the action form. Turn on Settings → General → Always show additional options to keep it expanded everywhere. Throughout this documentation such parameters are marked (Advanced options).
