Workflows

A workflow is a browser task you recorded once and can replay forever. Recording uses AI to understand the page; replay never does — it executes the saved step list on your own machine, so run 10,000 costs exactly what run 1 did.

Recording one

Workflows → New → Record the steps. Give it a name and an entry URL, pick an agent (or leave it on Auto), and Continue.

A live browser opens inside the wizard. Click, type and navigate as you normally would; each action is captured as a step, with a selector generated for it. The panel on the right fills in as you go.

Two modes:

One-shot Run it, get a result, stop. Right for a scrape, a form submit, a data pull — most workflows.
Live session The browser stays open across calls. For conversational or multi-turn use, and what the OpenAI-compatible API drives.

While recording you can also:

  • Extract — click the button, then click an element to capture it as data. The generated selector is shown as you hover.
  • Record waits — the toggle captures the pauses you take, so replay does not outrun a slow page.
  • Ask AI — describe what you want in the bar at the bottom instead of clicking it yourself.

Press Done recording to save.

Editing the steps

A recording is an editable list, not an opaque blob. Open a workflow and use Steps → Edit to reorder, disable, delete or retype a step, fix a selector that has drifted, or add a wait.

Step types include navigate, click, fill, wait, extract, screenshot, API call and evaluate. Related steps can be grouped into a reusable function.

Running

Press Run. The coordinator dispatches to an agent with free capacity and streams progress back. Results land in the workflow's dataset — see Datasets.

If a site has genuinely changed, the run fails loudly and names the step that broke, rather than improvising something different.

Scheduling

Schedule → on, then choose:

  • Interval — every N minutes/hours
  • Daily — a wall-clock time
  • Weekly — a time plus weekdays

Scheduled runs respect MAX_CONCURRENT_RUNS and the per-host rate limit, so a burst of schedules cannot hammer one target.

Inputs

A step value written as {{name}} becomes a runtime input. Callers supply it when they run the workflow — through the UI, the REST API or an MCP tool. Credentials should come from a persona or secret rather than being typed into a step.

Publishing

A saved workflow can be handed to other software three ways:

Run history

Runs lists every execution with status, duration, the agent that ran it and the data produced. Records are purged after RUN_RETENTION_DAYS (default 90).
