# TYPE TEXT IN INPUT : change the value of the input
# | type | locator | value |
| type | name=email | ${email} |


# SEND KEYS : simulate keystroke events, like if you where really typing (trigger js event)
# | sendKeys | locator | value |
| sendKeys | //input[@name='new-message-name'] | Test 1 2 Test  | 


# CLICK AND WAIT : click on a element and wait for page load
