Action types

MimicBot recognizes six action kinds. The kind field on bot_actions drives how the widget proposes and executes each one.

newsletter​

A form for collecting email addresses on a mailing list. The crawler recognizes <form> elements with a single email input and common "subscribe" copy.

Typical target:

{
  "selector": "form.newsletter",
  "fieldMap": { "email": "input[name='email']" },
  "pageUrl": "https://acme.example/subscribe"
}

contact_form​

A form for sending a message to the site owner. The form-replay system (see Form replay) handles submission across three layers.

Typical paramsSchema (JSON Schema):

{
  "type": "object",
  "required": ["name", "email", "message"],
  "properties": {
    "name":    { "type": "string" },
    "email":   { "type": "string", "format": "email" },
    "message": { "type": "string" }
  }
}

mailto​

A direct mailto: link on the site. The widget opens the user's email client with to:, subject:, and body: prefilled.

calendar​

Detected Calendly, Acuity, or Cal.com booking URLs. For v1 the widget proposes the URL as a direct link; inline booking via the widget is on the roadmap.

phone​

A tel: link or structured phone number. On mobile, tapping the proposal dials directly.

whatsapp​

A wa.me or api.whatsapp.com link with an optional prefilled message body.
