Website Automation

The Website Automation feature lets you record interactions with a website and replay them on demand — either manually or triggered by an agent. This is useful for automating repetitive web-based workflows without writing code.

Accessing Website Automation

Click Tools → Website Automation Flows in the top navigation.

How It Works

Automation flows capture a recording of you interacting with a website — clicking buttons, filling forms, navigating pages. Once recorded, the flow can be replayed to perform the same actions automatically.

Recording a Flow

  1. Go to Tools → Website Automation Flows
  2. Click New Recording
  3. Enter a name for the flow
  4. The recorder will open a browser session — interact with the website as you normally would
  5. When you are done, stop the recording
  6. The flow is saved and ready to replay

Replaying a Flow

  1. Find the flow in the list
  2. Click Run to execute it immediately
  3. Optionally pass parameters if the flow was recorded with variable inputs (e.g. a search term)

Flows run in a headless browser in the background. You can check the result and any output once the run completes.

Storing Credentials Securely

If your automation flow requires logging in to a website, credentials are stored securely:

  1. When recording, log in as normal — the credentials used will be stored encrypted
  2. On subsequent replays, the flow uses the stored credentials automatically
  3. Credentials are write-only from the UI — you can update them but not read back the stored values

⚠️ Credentials are stored securely and are never returned in API responses or displayed in the UI.

Running Flows from an Agent

Agents with access to the automation tools can:

  • List available flows
  • Run a flow on your behalf
  • Retrieve the result of a previous run

This allows agents to trigger web automations as part of a larger task:

"Log in to our ticketing system and check for any new high-priority tickets"

Managing Flows

  • Edit – update the name or description of a flow
  • Delete – remove a flow you no longer need
  • View Results – browse previous runs and their outputs

Use Cases

  • Form submission – automate repetitive form-filling workflows
  • Data extraction – scrape information from sites that don't have an API
  • Status checking – periodically check a site and report back
  • Login and navigate – access pages behind authentication for further processing
