Scroll
The scroll step scrolls the page by the recorded amount, which is essential for infinite-scroll lists that load items lazily as you approach the bottom.
In a workflow, this is a step object with "type": "scroll". Steps run in order, and each step can read the outputs of the steps before it. See the fullworkflows 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
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
value | string | The scroll distance, as recorded. |
Example
A single scroll step as it appears in a workflow's steps array:
{
"type": "scroll",
"config": { "value": "800" }
}How it behaves
- Combine with wait_for_change so the next step reads content that has actually loaded.
- For a single element, scroll_into_view is more precise than a page scroll.
Where it runs
The scroll step executes wherever the run executes. On yourlocal 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 usagewallet.
