Timing & scheduling

Scheduled Clicking with Countdown, Exact Time and Repeat

Choose a countdown, a future Exact Time, a recurring schedule, or repeat timing for a selected webpage element.

Smart Clicker timing screen with Countdown, Exact Time and Advanced options
Countdown and Exact Time are configured in the same focused timing flow.

Four timing modes

Choose when the webpage click should run

Start with the mode that matches the job, then keep the browser and target page available for best-effort execution.

Countdown

From 500 ms

Run relative to the moment you start the task.

Exact Time

Future local time

Choose a future date and time, to the selected second.

Scheduled

Daily or weekdays

Choose a local time for daily or selected-weekday routines.

Repeat

Finite or continuous

Repeat for a chosen count or until the task is cancelled.

Countdown & Exact Time

Relative timing or a selected future moment

Both modes target the webpage element you selected, but they answer different timing needs.

Countdown

Start the timer when the task launches and attempt the click after the chosen duration.

  • Minimum 500 ms
  • Millisecond-level duration input
  • Basic countdown tasks are unlimited on Free

Exact Time

Choose a future local date and time for an Advanced task.

  • Selected to the second
  • A past Exact Time cannot simply rerun unchanged
  • Execution at that exact second is not guaranteed

Schedules & Repeat

Separate when a task runs from how often it repeats

Scheduled chooses the next local occurrence. Repeat controls the number or continuity of click attempts.

When

Daily or weekday schedule

Choose a local time and either every day or selected weekdays. The next valid occurrence depends on the current local time.

  • Daily
  • Selected weekdays
  • Local schedule
How often

Finite Repeat

Choose a repetition count with an interval of at least 500 ms.

How often

Infinite Repeat

Continue with an interval of at least 30 seconds until cancelled or stopped by runtime conditions.

Wait for the page state you need

A Wait Condition can delay an Advanced timing task until the selected element is ready.

  • Visible
  • Clickable
  • Matching text

Choose a wait range from 5 to 300 seconds. Reaching the timeout does not mean the condition will occur.

Best-effort execution

Timing depends on the browser, device and webpage

Smart Clicker shows the running task and provides Cancel, but it cannot guarantee execution at an exact time or guarantee a website result.

  • Browser state and throttling
  • Device sleep
  • Webpage changes
  • Target availability
  • Other runtime conditions
