Hey, @Parthiv,

For python, use the

from selenium.webdriver import ActionChains

and

ActionChains(browser).click(element).perform()

Selenium can automatically click on buttons that appear on a webpage

Find the button.
Click on the button.

We can find the button on the web page by using methods like find_element_by_class_name(), find_element_by_name(), find_element_by_id() etc, then after finding the button/element we can click on it using click() method.

Syntax :

# finding the button using ID
button = driver.find_element_by_id(ID)

# clicking on the button
button.click()

CODE:

import time

# importing webdriver from selenium

from selenium import webdriver

  

# Here Chrome  will be used

driver = webdriver.Chrome()

# URL of website

url = "https:// ABC.."

  

  # Opening the website

driver.get(url)

  

# geeting the button by class name

button = driver.find_element_by_class_name("slide-out-btn")

  

# clicking on the button

button.click()

This will click on the button and a popup will be shown. For further understanding, you can refer to the Selenium Training.

Hope this helps!!!
