Auto Refresh Plus allows you to automate actions on webpages using Custom Scripts and the built-in AI Script Generator.

Custom Scripts enable you to run JavaScript during different stages of the refresh and monitoring process. You can trigger scripts when a refresh starts, after the page loads, or when a monitored keyword is found or lost. This gives advanced users full control to automate workflows, modify page behavior, or perform complex actions.

Common use cases include:

• Running scripts when a refresh begins
• Executing actions after the page fully loads
• Triggering automation when a keyword is detected or removed
• Automatically clicking elements or performing multi-step actions

Custom scripts are configured from General Settings, where you can define your JavaScript code and specify URL patterns to control where the script runs.

Common URL pattern examples:

• example.com → Matches both HTTP and HTTPS
• example.com/* → Matches all pages on that domain
• .example.com/ → Matches all subdomains

For users who do not want to write code, the AI Script Generator provides an easier way to create scripts. You can describe what you want in simple language, and the AI will generate a working script for you. This is ideal for basic to medium-level automation such as auto-clicking, scrolling, or simple conditional actions.

In addition to AI generation, you can also explore ready-made scripts from the Script Marketplace. This includes commonly used automation scripts shared by the community, which can be used instantly without creating your own.

This combination of manual scripting, AI-generated scripts, and marketplace templates provides a complete automation system suitable for both beginners and advanced users.

The Hotkeys feature in Auto Refresh Plus allows you to control key functions of the extension using keyboard shortcuts. Instead of opening the extension popup each time, you can quickly trigger actions directly from your keyboard.

Hotkeys help speed up common tasks and make it easier to manage refresh actions while working or browsing.

Using hotkeys, you can perform actions such as:

• Start a time interval refresh
• Start a random interval refresh
• Activate countdown timer mode
• Stop the current refresh cycle
• Mute notification sounds

Hotkeys can be configured from Extension General Settings, where you can assign custom keyboard shortcuts based on your preferences. This allows you to create a setup that fits your workflow and makes controlling Auto Refresh Plus faster and more efficient.

Each shortcut must include at least one modifier key such as Ctrl, Alt, Shift, or Command to ensure compatibility and avoid conflicts with system shortcuts.

Auto Refresh Plus allows you to configure one or more elements to be clicked automatically during refresh or when a monitored keyword is detected. Each click target is defined using a CSS selector, and multiple targets can be added to create a sequence of automated clicks.

You can enter a selector manually, such as button or a[href="/login"], or use Select to choose an element directly from the webpage.

Each click target can be configured to run at a specific trigger:

• Refresh: Clicks the selected element after each page refresh.
• On Detection: Clicks the selected element when a monitored keyword or condition is detected.
• New Tab: Opens the selected link in a new browser tab when the click action is triggered.

You can add multiple click targets using Add Another Click, allowing different elements to be clicked automatically within the same monitoring setup. Each configured target can also be removed or expanded/collapsed as needed.

Example:

If a page contains a login link:

a[href="/login"]

You can add this selector as a click target and choose On Detection. When the configured monitoring condition is detected, Auto Refresh Plus automatically clicks the login link.

Auto Refresh Plus allows you to automatically manage cookies before or after each page refresh. You can create multiple cookie rules and configure each rule by specifying a cookie name, entering its value, selecting an action, and choosing when the action should be performed. Available actions include adding a new cookie, editing an existing cookie, or deleting a cookie.

You can also use the cookie picker to select a cookie from the current website instead of entering its name manually. You can configure each cookie rule to run before or after the refresh. Multiple cookie rules can be added to handle different cookies within the same refresh workflow. This feature is useful when a website's behavior or displayed content depends on specific cookie values, and you need those values to be changed automatically during repeated refresh operations.

Actions

• Add Cookie: Creates or sets a cookie using the specified cookie name and value.
• Edit Cookie: Changes the value of an existing cookie using the specified cookie name and new value.
• Delete Cookie: Removes the specified cookie.

Timing

• Before Refresh: Performs the configured cookie action before the webpage is refreshed.
• After Refresh: Performs the configured cookie action after the webpage has been refreshed.

Auto Refresh Plus allows you to automatically replay a sequence of browser actions when Page Monitor detects a configured match. A macro consists of multiple actions that are executed sequentially from top to bottom after the detection event occurs.

You can create a macro by recording actions directly on the webpage or by adding individual steps manually. Recorded interactions can include clicks, typing, and keyboard actions, while manual steps provide additional control over the automation sequence. You can also test the configured macro before relying on it for automatic execution.

This feature allows Page Monitor detections to trigger actions on the webpage instead of only generating an alert or notification.

Action Sequence

Macro steps are executed in the order in which they are listed. You can add, remove, or modify steps to create the required workflow. Click: Automatically clicks a selected element on the webpage.

• Fill Input: Enters specified text into an input field.
• Select Option: Selects an option from a selectable field or dropdown.
• Press Key: Automatically presses a specified keyboard key.
• Hover: Moves the pointer over a selected element.
• Scroll: Automatically scrolls the webpage.
• Wait: Pauses the macro for a specified period before continuing to the next step.
• Wait for Element: Waits for a specified webpage element before continuing with the next action.
• Go to URL: Navigates the browser to a specified URL as part of the macro sequence.
• Reload Page: Automatically reloads the current webpage as part of the macro sequence.
• Open Tab: Opens a specified webpage in a new browser tab as part of the macro sequence.

Record Macro

The Record option allows you to create a macro by performing actions directly on the webpage. When recording is enabled, actions such as clicks, typing, and keyboard input are captured automatically and added to the macro's action sequence. This provides a faster way to create a sequence without manually adding every action.

Add Step

You can manually add individual actions to the macro instead of recording them. Available actions include Click, Fill Input, Select Option, Press Key, Hover, Scroll, Wait, Wait for Element, and Go to URL.

Test Macro

The Test option allows you to run the configured action sequence manually and verify that the macro performs the intended actions before it is triggered automatically by Page Monitor.
