Details of each action field

Action Fields	Type	Description
description	String	Descripton of this action
data	String	XPath, suggest to use a very details XPath, with more information more stable, such as class, id, sibiling index, text value and top to BODY. Suggest to use this Chrome extension Full XPath to copy XPath

value	Any	This field is for textbox type element, it will be convered when cred filed is exist
cred	String	its value is the key of creds above, it's for textbox type element

Why use a full XPath

Using a ful XPath with more details(class, id, sibiling index, text value) and top to BODY. Because used a dynamica locating a algorithm, which help to resolve XPath break when page changed, for example, the position of parent or brother elements is changed. The sytle changed such as class name updated.

Support JavaScript expression

All fields support to JavaScript expression, for example:

Set delay as 60-160 seconds

"delay": "{ 60 + Math.ceil(Math.random()*100) }"
