Navigation step

Navigated to

The navigated_to step is emitted by the recorder when the page navigates on its own — after a click, a form submit, or a redirect. On replay it does not force a load; it waits for the browser to arrive at the recorded destination.

In a workflow, this is a step object with "type": "navigated_to". Steps run in order, and each step can read the outputs of the steps before it. See the full workflows reference for the 30+ step types.

Writ runs on your own accounts, with your own credentials and data, on sites you are authorized to use.

Fields

FieldTypeDescription
url string The URL the recording arrived at; replay verifies against it.

Example

A single navigated_to step as it appears in a workflow's steps array:

{
  "type": "navigated_to",
  "config": { "url": "https://example.com/dashboard" }
}

How it behaves

  • You rarely write this by hand — the recorder emits it to keep replay in step with the site.
  • Use navigate when the workflow itself must force a URL; navigated_to only observes one.

Where it runs

The navigated_to step executes wherever the run executes. On your local or BYO agent there is no compute charge and the agent can reach intranet-only systems; on Writ cloud the run is metered by running time (~$0.12 per browser-hour, from your plan’s included usage wallet.

  • Recorder - capture steps by clicking through a site.
  • Managed endpoints - turn the workflow into a REST endpoint, or an MCP tool.
