Customizing Actions

Auto Mouse Click allows you to combine multiple actions into sequences, creating sophisticated automations tailored to your specific needs. This guide covers how to build, customize, and optimize action sequences.

Building Action Sequences

An action sequence is an ordered list of individual actions that execute one after another. For example:

1. Move mouse to position (200, 300)
2. Wait 500ms
3. Left click
4. Wait 1000ms
5. Press Ctrl+C
6. Move mouse to position (500, 400)
7. Left click
8. Press Ctrl+V

Creating a Sequence

1. Open Auto Mouse Click.
2. Click New Sequence or navigate to Actions > Create Sequence.
3. Click Add Action to add steps.
4. For each step, select the action type and configure its parameters.
5. Use Move Up / Move Down to reorder steps.
6. Click Save and give the sequence a name.

Action Types Available in Sequences

Action	Parameters
Mouse Move	Target position, speed
Left Click	Position (current or fixed)
Right Click	Position (current or fixed)
Double Click	Position, click speed
Keyboard Key	Key or combination
Type Text	Text string, typing speed
Wait/Delay	Duration in milliseconds
App Switch	Target application
Scroll	Direction, distance

Adding Delays

Delays between actions are critical for reliable automation. Applications need time to respond to each input before the next one arrives.

Recommended delays:

After This Action	Wait Time
Mouse click on a button	500-2000ms
Typing text	200-500ms
App switch	1000-2000ms
Page navigation	2000-5000ms

When in Doubt, Add More Delay

If an automation sequence is unreliable, the most common fix is to increase the delay between actions. Applications that are slow to respond will miss inputs that arrive too quickly.

Looping Sequences

Configure a sequence to repeat:

• Loop count -- Run the sequence N times
• Infinite loop -- Run continuously until manually stopped
• Loop delay -- Wait time between each loop iteration

Saving and Loading Sequences

Save your sequences as named profiles for easy reuse:

• Save -- Store the sequence with a descriptive name
• Load -- Recall a saved sequence
• Export -- Save as a file for backup or sharing
• Import -- Load a sequence from a file

Tips for Reliable Automation

1. Test incrementally -- Build and test one action at a time
2. Use fixed positions carefully -- Screen resolution changes or window repositioning will break fixed-coordinate actions
3. Add error recovery -- Plan for what happens if a click misses its target
4. Start slow -- Use longer delays initially, then reduce once the automation is stable
