Copying selectors can be done very easily. Although directly copied selectors won't work for all use cases, they will work in most cases, and given how easy this method is, it's a great starting point.

This section explains how to copy selectors in one click.

We recommend this free CSS selector tool for Chrome: . With it, you can right-click on any element of the website to copy its CSS selector and then paste it into the building block Website action.

After clicking on copy CSS selector, wait a few seconds until a dotted frame is shown. If no frame is shown, then something went wrong - try right-clicking again until the frame appears. This is what this frame looks like:
