How can I get a webpage to click on a button upon loading? Tried this and doesn't work – WordPress

Would appreciate your help with this.
I’m trying to get the site to automatically click on a button, when the site is loading.

The button I’m referring to is the blue one, above the fold right when you enter the page,
the text is "Full 2022-2023 Schedule".

Site is running Elementor on WordPress.

Any ideas?

I tried adding this script to the homepage of the site www.thenflschedule.com,
but it just doesn’t work.

<script type="text/javascript">
document.getElementById("button").click();
</script>

Update:
There’s a script on the page to open popups only when the window or any element is clicked. I thought that by auto-clicking a button, it would trigger the popup, but it doesn’t. I would still need to click manually anywhere on the page for the pop up to open.

Is there a function to click anywhere on the window, that would trigger the popup script?

This is the pop up script that’s running on the page:
<script data-cfasync="false" src="//acacdn.com/script/suv4.js" data-adel="lwsu" cdnd="acacdn.com" zid="323555"></script>

    Thank you Viraj, looks like it's working now, but it doesn't do what I thought it would.

    The button doesn’t have an ID called "button". You can only use .getElementById when the element you are trying to access has an id parameter.
    Try using

    let x = document.getElementsByClassName("elementor-button-link elementor-button elementor-size-sm");
x[0].click();

    That button (actually its a link tag) has the above classes thats why I have used .getElementsByClassName instead of .getElementById
