# Bricks for Interacting with the DOM Many automations involve interacting with elements on the page, such as filling out a form or clicking on a field. You'll use these common bricks to interact with elements on a page. ### Set Input Value Now that we've collected data in a few different ways (scraping the page to get text in a box and transforming a URL into a shortened link) let's do something with it. In many cases, you're going to want to turn that text into data you can add to a page, such as setting content for a tweet or LinkedIn message, filling out a form in Salesforce, or performing a search query on a site.

To do this, you'll use the **Set Input Value** brick. You can learn more in the [Set Input Value brick docs](https://www.pixiebrix.com/marketplace/51c95696-f0ad-4cc8-acab-e9b351e4e9ca/?utm_source=pixiebrix\&utm_medium=page_editor\&utm_campaign=docs\&utm_content=view_docs_link). ### Simulate DOM event Here’s another action you’ll find useful as you build your PixieBrix mods! If you're not a developer, the words "DOM" might not mean anything to you, but in plain English, the **Simulate DOM Event** brick allows PixieBrix to interact with items on a page and trigger actions, like clicking elements on a page.

It can be useful for submitting forms or posting content, like tweets or LinkedIn posts, but it’s also a great way to navigate between pages that don’t have clear links between them.
