• javascript
• jquery

• 2 setTimeout(function(){$('_my_save_button').trigger('click')},180000); .............. ‘_my_save_button’ => '_my_save_button' – Pranav C Balan Commented Mar 13, 2019 at 15:59
• 2 Your single quotes are 'weird'. Try using normal single (or double) quotes: ' or ". Also, your _my_save_button is really nothing. If it's the id of the button, you should add the prefix # to that. – ZiNNED Commented Mar 13, 2019 at 15:59
• does your button have the class or id _my_save_button? if it is the class, prepend it with a ., if id, prepend with #. – Matthew Varga Commented Mar 13, 2019 at 16:00

We need to fix the quotes around your identifier.

setTimeout(function() {
    $('._my_save_button').trigger('click');
}, 3000);

I think you are only missing the right css selector.

should be "#_my_save_button" in case of id="_my_save_button" or "._my_save_button" in case of class="_my_save_button":

setTimeout(function(){$("#_my_save_button").trigger("click")},180000);
