Select an extension popup target to act on (CDP)

What it does

The Select Extension Popup command finds an extension popup window (by title/URL contains, or popup keywords like notification/confirm/approval) and switches CDP focus to it. After this, Smart HTML/click commands act on that popup.

When to use it

  • Confirm a transaction on a crypto wallet popup.
  • Act on an extension approval/connect window.
  • Ensure following commands target the popup, not the main tab.

Configuration steps

  1. Once the extension popup appears, add Browser › Select Extension Popup.
  2. Enter Title contains or URL contains to match the right popup.
  3. Set a timeout (seconds) to wait for the popup. Save.

Every option explained

Title contains

Filter the popup by title. Leave empty to match by URL/popup keywords only.

URL contains

Filter the popup by URL (e.g. notification.html).

Timeout (seconds)

Maximum time to wait for the popup before giving up (default 10s).

Real example

Example: select a confirm popup

  1. Select Extension Popup: URL contains notification.
  2. Smart HTML › Click the "Confirm" button on the popup.
  3. Continue the script.

Tips & common mistakes

Unlike Click Popup (coordinate-based), this only switches focus — then use Smart HTML to act by selector, which is more reliable.
