Save Screenshot Step

The Save Screenshot step takes a picture of the current screen. It saves the image to a folder you pick. This step gives you the full path to the saved file.

Use this step to get visual proof of a process. You can also use it for debugging or checking things.

How to Use the Save Screenshot Step

Add this step to your process to take a screenshot.

Step 1: Add the Save Screenshot Step

1. Open your process in the Robotiq.ai editor.
2. Drag and drop the Save Screenshot step into your workflow.

Step 2: Set Up the Step

1. Step name (Optional): Give the step a custom name. This helps you find it in your process.
2. Folder Path (Required): Type the full path to the folder where you want to save the screenshot.
   • You can use an existing text variable or type the path directly.
   • Example: C:\Screenshots or {{myScreenshotFolder}}
   • Tip: You can use the Create Folder Step to make sure the folder is there first.
3. File Name (without extension) (Required): Type the name for your screenshot file. Don't include the file type (like .png, .jpg).

   • Tip: Combine this with the Get Current Date Step to make unique file names.
4. Destination File Path (Required): Pick a variable to hold the full path of the saved screenshot.
   • You can choose an existing text variable or make a new one.
   • This variable will have the complete file path, including the file name and its type.
