# Get Tool Tip Text

This is a pre-built Action located under the **@Custom Element**. The functionality of this Action in Avo Assure is to fetch the tooltip text present on the object specified in the input value. The extracted value is stored in the given dynamic variable for further use during test execution.

{% hint style="info" %}
The **Get Tool Tip Text** action works only when the **VerifyExists** action is executed in a preceding step.
{% endhint %}

**Example 1**

**Retrieves the tooltip text from the specified UI element**

The **Get Tool Tip Text** action takes the value from the Input Value column (e.g., **button;;1**) and fetches the tooltip associated with the specified object. The result of the operation is stored in the **{Tooltip**} variable, while the execution status is stored in the **{Status}** variable, with the following possible values:

* **True** – if the tooltip is retrieved successfully.
* **False** – if the operation fails

The result of the operation is stored in the **{Tooltip**} variable, while the execution status is stored in the **{Status}** variable, with the following possible values:

* **True** – if the tooltip is retrieved successfully.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.avoautomation.com/avo-assure/actions/web/custom-1/get-tool-tip-text.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
