What is required for Global Send Keys and Global Mouse Click to function properly?

For Global Send Keys and Global Mouse Click functionalities to work appropriately, it is essential to have an active application. These features interact directly with the user interface of applications to send keystrokes or simulate mouse clicks. Without an active application in the foreground, there would be no target for the input commands, rendering these actions ineffective.

Having the application active allows the Global Send Keys to input text or commands directly into fields, and Global Mouse Click to perform clicks on buttons or links. This is crucial because if the application is not active or in focus, the inputs may be sent to the wrong application or not registered at all, causing potential failures in the automation process.

The other options, while important in different contexts, do not pertain directly to the functionality of Global Send Keys and Global Mouse Click. An active internet connection is not required for local applications to receive inputs, a specific user role does not inherently affect the function of these features, and while a pre-established session helps in general for automated processes, the key factor here is the application being active and ready to respond to inputs.
