Why is it beneficial to add delays before executing a Type Into activity on a slowly loading element?

Adding delays before executing a Type Into activity on a slowly loading element is beneficial to ensure that the element is ready for input. When working with automation, particularly in environments where application load times can vary, it is crucial to confirm that the targeted UI element is fully loaded and accessible before attempting any interaction.

If a Type Into activity is executed before the element is ready, it may result in errors such as typing in the wrong field, typing before the field is available, or command failures, which can disrupt the flow of the automation process. Implementing a delay allows the automation workflow to pause briefly, providing the application the necessary time to render the element completely. This attention to timing helps in achieving more reliable and robust automation, reducing the likelihood of encountering exceptions or failures during execution.

While delays may sometimes seem counterproductive to performance speed, they serve a critical role in ensuring that the automation operates smoothly and accurately.
