Form Replay Explained: Recording and Replaying Multi-Step Flows

Multi-step registration flows — where each page requires interaction before the next page appears — are beyond standard form automation. Form Replay solves this by recording exact browser interactions and replaying them on demand.

What Makes Multi-Step Forms Difficult

Standard form automation fills visible fields on the current page. Multi-step flows require: clicking Next buttons, waiting for page transitions, handling conditional logic (if you select "Business," different fields appear), and sometimes pausing for external verification (email codes).

A 4-step registration where each step is served dynamically can't be handled by filling fields alone.

How Recording Works

Click Record in the Fillnex popup. Navigate through the registration flow exactly as you normally would. The extension captures each interaction: field inputs (replacing values with profile data references), button clicks, navigation events, and page transitions.

At manual steps — like entering an email verification code — pause recording, complete the step manually, then resume. The replay will pause at the same point and wait for your input.

The Replay Data Structure

A recorded flow consists of steps, each containing: selector (CSS selector of the target element), action type (fill, click, navigate), value (profile field reference or literal value), and timing (delay before executing this step).

Replaying at Scale

Assign replays to specific sites within campaigns. When the campaign reaches a site with an assigned replay, it runs the recorded interaction sequence instead of generic form filling.

Replays are reusable indefinitely. Record once for a complex platform, assign to campaigns, and every future submission to that platform uses the replay automatically.
