Scrolling Actions

Actions for scrolling the page vertically or horizontally.

scrollY​

Scroll the page vertically by a number of pixels. Positive scrolls down, negative scrolls up.

Value: number (pixels)

[
	{ "scrollY": 500 }
]

Scroll back up:

[
	{ "scrollY": -300 }
]

Scroll to bottom of page — using a large number works because the browser clamps the scroll position to the maximum scrollable distance:

[
	{ "scrollY": 99999 }
]

Instant (no animation):

[
	{ "scrollY": 1000, "options": { "behavior": "instant" } }
]

scrollX​

Scroll the page horizontally by a number of pixels. Positive scrolls right, negative scrolls left.

Value: number (pixels)

[
	{ "scrollX": 200 }
]
