Auto mouse scroll in RunMacro

What it does

The Mouse Wheel command auto-scrolls the wheel up or down by a number of notches at a position you choose (or the current cursor spot).

When to use it

  • Scroll a page or long list to reveal content to act on.
  • Scroll down to trigger lazy-loading before finding/clicking.
  • Scroll inside a specific area (chat box, table) instead of the whole page.

Configuration steps

  1. Add a Mouse › Mouse Wheel command.
  2. Choose the direction: Up or Down.
  3. Enter the number of notches.
  4. (Optional) set the scroll point with F2; leave empty to scroll at the current position.
  5. Save.

Every option explained

Direction (Up / Down)

Which way the wheel scrolls.

Notches

How many wheel steps. More notches scroll farther.

X, Y coordinates (optional)

Where to place the cursor to scroll; leave empty to use the current spot.

Random notches (±)

Randomly add/subtract notches each run so scrolling varies instead of being perfectly uniform.

Real example

Example: scroll to the bottom to load more

  1. Add a Mouse Wheel, direction Down, 10 notches.
  2. Set a 500ms delay so the page can load.
  3. Repeat a few times for infinite-scroll pages.

Tips & common mistakes

To scroll precisely to an element, pair with Find Image after scrolling to confirm it is visible.
In Browser Mode, the scroll is sent via Chrome/CDP so it does not take over your real mouse.
